Sorry for the late post. On Wednesday morning I saw 2 Black Swifts at the northwest corner of Lake Pillsbury. Very apparent; they were large black slow swifts with no white and they were clearly larger than the surrounding Tree Swallows. fyi - there is no cell phone service up there, and I did not have any until late on the 14th when I got back to Upper Lake. I looked at the bar charts and saw that they had been reported a few years ago in May.
I am pretty sure I also saw 7 Bald Eagles. There is a pair of adults at the north end of the lake with 3 immatures all staying together. And, I saw another pair of adults over 4 miles away on a nest. I would like to hear from anyone who keeps track of the eagles at Pillsbury.
