*June 3,* Marsh Drive (flooded ephemeral pool area)* (* = southeast corner of Highway 101 & High. 37)
1 hatch year/newborn Black-necked Stilt and 7 adults
(By the way, Will Legge noted to me that he has recently seen several other newborn Black-necked Stilt, in addition to an
American Avocet on a nest along with one male Blue-winged Teal at this location.)
Distant (~2,000 feet), mediocre/fuzzy digiscoped photos of hatch year via:
*June 2,* Loma Alta Trail (via Lucas Valley Road), S. Rafael
3 Lark Sparrow (heard first, then one seen singing while perched on rock ~.2 mile from trailhead)
*June 1,* Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds
1 male Cinnamon Teal
*May 29,* Hamilton Field near old, abandoned movie theater among palm trees
2 Hooded Oriole (male and female) entering and exiting nest area in the top of one palm
*May 23,* Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds
1 male Blue-winged Teal (in sludge ponds immediately east to adjacent Pond #2)
*
By the way, 2 adult and 4 hatch year Mute Swan are ongoing at Las Gallinas; I noticed one of seven
newborn Canada Goose were "deleted" (perhaps by one of the American River Otters) in the same location.
