Subject: [southbaybirds] SCVBA Trip to Coyote Lake
Hi Everyone!

This morning, Edward Rooks, Carlos Mendoza and I led a field trip to Coyote
Lake. We started at the campground where we had *Yellow-rumped Warblers* in
breeding plumage, singing *Orange-crowned Warblers*, singing *Purple Finch*
(even saw several), at least 3 *Red-breasted Sapsuckers*, and a variety of
ducks on the lake including *Ruddy Ducks*, *Ring-necked Ducks*, *American
Wigeons*, *Canvasbacks*, *Buffleheads*, *Gadwalls *and *Mallards*. After
exploring this area, we caravanned to the dam. We lucked out here because
both the *Canyon Wren* and *Rock Wren* showed themselves. We also had 4 *Bald
Eagles*!

Remember to check out the Birdathon! Edward and I will be leading "Run for
the Hills
<https://scvbirdalliance.org/event-calendar/birdathon-run-for-the-hills>"
again but this year we're headed to Diablo Foothills Preserve in Gilroy. If
this isn't the right team for you, I have two more teams: "Backyard Birds
and Coffee
<https://scvbirdalliance.org/event-calendar/birdathon-backyard-birds-amp-coffee>"
and "The Quack Pack
<https://scvbirdalliance.org/event-calendar/birdathon-the-quack-pack>". For
any team, you can join a team for a flat donation, join the team as a
fundraiser then reach out to your family and friends for donations, or
simply support a team with a donation. All funds raised go to support
SCVBA's education and conservation programs.

Happy birding!
Eve Meier (San Jose)
