[SBB] Owl sighting

SBBirders---

    I just made a quick walk to the grocery store from my home near 
Loyola Corners to the Andronico's at Foothill and Springer in Los 
Altos (9:30 PM, 1 Mar 2007).  A smallish, chunky winged creature 
blasted in front of me about 3 feet off the ground, just before I got 
to Springer.  Since there probably aren't any bats of that 
description active during this time of year, I figure it had to be a 
WESTERN SCREECH OWL.  This location is not far from a known breeding 
site that former Los Altos resident Linda Lloyd observed in her yard 
just across Foothill Expressway in the '70's and 80's.

    We last observed the RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH in our yard on February 
18.  What a treat it was to have that bird coming to our feeder for 6 
months.
