[SBB] Uvas Creek Field Trip



All,
 
Yesterday (3/11) 19 - 20 birders joined the SCVAS field trip to Uvas Creek Park Preserve in Gilroy, birding between Christmas Hill Park (Miller Ave) and Santa Teresa Blvd and back.  The hoped for Phainopepla found three days earlier in a Mistletoe bearing Oak by Sue Kruse was not re-found :-(.  Best birds included an OSPREY (flying upstream),  ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, WESTERN BLUEBIRD, VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW (first of the year for me), FOX SPARROW and PURPLE FINCH.  We had great views of perched and flying RED-SHOULDERED HAWK and COOPER'S HAWKS and of singing CALIFORNIA THRASHERS.  Toward the end of the trip we added a male AMERICAN WIGEON and during lunch had nice flyover views of an adult GOLDEN EAGLE and WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS.
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
