Went out to the west side of Barka Slough this morning. Birds: Pacific-slope Flycatcher Wilson's Warblers Yellow Warblers Common Yellowthroats Ash-throated Flycatchers Blue Grosbeak Lazuli Bunting Cliff Swallows (still nesting on the bridge above the creek) Red-tailed Hawk House Finches California Scrub Jays California Quail Barn Swallows Spotted Towhees California Towhees Wrentits Bushtits Chestnut-backed Chickadees Went to Triangle Pond and there weren't any waterfowl at all, not even the Pied-billed Grebes I have seen and heard in there in recent months. I did hear a Hutton's Vireo there, however. In the creek at the little bridge past the entrance to the combat shooting range, a *BEAVER* was foraging in the water. That blew me away as I have never seen a beaver around here. (Used to see them a lot in Northern Nevada) Happy Birding! Lisa -- Lisa D Walker-Roseman, Fort Bragg, CA (In Lompoc for the duration) |
