Hi Everyone!
Today, Edward Rooks, Melanie Barnett and I led a SCVBA trip to Rancho
Cañada del Oro! We lucked out with 50 species seen or heard. Our
highlights were several good views of *Western Wood Pewees*, 2 *White-throated
Swifts* copulating mid-air, *Anna's Hummingbirds* and a *Black Phoebe*
hawking insects over Llagas Creek at the pedestrian bridge, a pair of
*Lawrence's
Goldfinches* nest building, nice views of *Black-headed Grosbeaks* and
watching a coyote trot up the hill with a *Wild Turkey* in his mouth!
A few of us headed to Calero Reservoir to have lunch. At this location we
had an adult *Bald Eagle* and a *Caspian Tern*.
