Dear Birders
A few bitter-enders managed brief looks at the male orchard oriole in Courtland late this afternoon. Apparently better looks were had early this morning. Lesser decent finds in the same patch of bottlebrush were a white-throated sparrow and a hooded oriole.
At the Cosumnes River Preserve I had a yellow warbler on my monthly survey of Lost Slough on February 1st. This past Saturday I found what is likely to be the same stilt sandpiper seen at intervals this winter along Desmond Road that day with dowitchers east of the Love Shack north of the Tall Forest. The same day, I was able for the first time since the flooding to wade out the east side of the forest to look at the bald eagle nest. The female is already sitting.
