Hi Everyone!
Yesterday, Melissa J and I visited Coyote Lake. Fun sightings at the campground were a couple of *Red-breasted Sapsuckers* on the peppertrees, a pair of *Western Grebes* performing the weed ceremony and nesting *Great Blue Herons*. At the dam we had a *Bald Eagle*, a *Golden Eagle*, *Rufous-crowned Sparrows*, *White-throasted Swifts* and a *Rock Wren *but no Canyon Wren.
I did a brief walk at Stiles Ranch this morning. The poppies are just starting to bloom. I was able to find one male *Rufous Hummingbird*, a few *Horned Lark* and *Rufous-crowned Sparrows*.
