[SBB] South County Reservoirs - 10/28

[Amy McDonald <[[email protected]]>]

On Sunday I visited Chesbro, Uvas, and Calero
reservoirs. Despite the extremely low water levels
(especially at Chesbro) there was some pretty good
activity, although nothing particularly unusual.
 
Highlights were as follows (complete eBIRD reports
below): a COOPER'S HAWK at Uvas, and at Calero (boat
ramp and walking to the dam), SHARP-SHINNED HAWK,
juvenile GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, TRICOLORED
BLACKBIRDS, AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS.
