Subject: [southbaybirds] SCVBA Field Trip to Calero Reservoir
Hi Everyone!

Today, Edward Rooks, Amanda Newlove and I led a SCVBA field trip to Calero
Reservoir. Of course, our favorite bird moments were the rushing *Western
and Clark's*
*Grebes*. But we also had a really nice variety of raptors including 2
*Merlins*, 2 *Cooper's Hawks*, several *Red-tailed Hawks*, 2 *White-tailed
Kites*, and a *Bald Eagle* that passed by repeatedly. The *Rock Wren*
continues in the dirt parking lot to the right as you enter the park and
the *Turkey Vultures* were still working on a deer carcass near the road.

Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S213014022

Happy birding!
Eve Meier (San Jose)
