Pat Kenny and I went to the southern part of Ed
Levin this morning, 3/16/07. We found the continuing YELLOW-BELLIED
SAPSUCKER in his usual spot in the tamarisks along with two RED-BREASTED
SAPSUCKERs. Near the corrals we saw two selasphorus hummingbirds; one had
a mostly green back and was doing an ALLEN HUMMINGBIRD's characteristic shallow
U-shaped display flight. At the Y junction where the path from the corrals
meets the Spring Valley Trail (house with two chimneys on the left, 2.5' square
trail sign) we saw a male PHAINOPEPLA. It spent time on prominent perches,
calling, both near the house and on the trees up the slope to the north.
Finally, we saw a GREAT-HORNED OWL on a nest about a 1/4 mile up the left fork
of the Los Coches Ridge Trail. It appeared to be incubating; all we could
see was a tail above one side of the nest and two ears, and occasionally two
eyes, above the other side.
