Subject: [southbaybirds] Grant Lake and Ranch
Hi All,

Today I visited Grant Lake and Grant Ranch - I needed some time in the
hills. I didn't see anything unusual but did see two Sooty *Fox Sparrows* -
that was a first of season for me. Raptor activity was good - a *Golden
Eagle*, paired up *Red-tailed Hawks*, *Red-shouldered Hawks*, and *American
Kestrels* - also 1 *White-tailed Kite*, 1 *Cooper's Hawk* and 1 *Northern
Harrier*.

Happy birding!
