[SBB] Continuing Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Red-necked Phalaropes

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 5/20/07, I visited the vicinity of Arzino Ranch to look 
for blackbird flocks.  Not much luck there, at least initially.  I 
checked New Chicago Marsh and counted 10 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES in the 
marsh at the little rise on Spreckles beyond the intersection with 
State.  Checking the fields of the Arzino Ranch from the Jubilee 
Christian Church parking lot, I counted 7 adult BURROWING OWLS and 4 
nestlings at one hole.  The latter stretched their wings occasionally 
which were mostly without feathers.  There were at list 2 migrant 
WESTERN KINGBIRDS in these fields (but no Cattle Egrets).  Giving up, 
I started for home and found a large flock of blackbirds at First and 
Nortech.  Vivek Tiwari was already there.  Eventually, I had good 
looks at two immature male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS and a female.
