Dear Birders,
There are still a few spots for Saturday's bird survey of the Tall Forest and environs at the Cosumnes River Preserve in southern Sacramento County. Reply to this e-mail if interested.
I'd like to say that the birding has been good, but it has not. Diversity has been poor. Here's what I turned up on Sunday: bald eagle- 2 acorn woodpecker- 2 western wood-pewee- 12 western flycatcher- 1 (FOS) warbling vireo- 1 (FOS) Swainson's thrush- 18 Bullock's oriole- 20 common yellowthroat- 10 MacGillivray's warbler- 1 (FOS) yellow warbler- 8 (all in likely breeding localities, based on recent years) Wilson's warbler- 4 western tanager- 3 black-headed grosbeak- 40
The rice fields are being flooded up. But none have had time for any kind of invertebrate bloom, so nothing was on them.
