Subject: [sbcobirding] Santa Ynez Valley 11-10
Today I birded parts of the Valley starting at Sky Drive, the road into San Lorenzo Seminary.  I found a lot of sparrows (Savannah, Lark, and White-crowns) but no unexpected rarities.  I was looking hard for Lewis's Woodpecker after Wim's report from a few days ago, but didn't find one, nor a Golden Eagle.  However, I did have excellent views of an adult Ferruginous Hawk.  I had a nice Red-breasted Sapsucker in the pepper trees on the seminary grounds.
Elsewhere in the Valley, I found several small flocks of Western Bluebirds, but no Mountain Bluebirds yet.  And surprisingly, I ran across no Pipits or Horned Larks in any of the fields.
