All, My attempts to do some post-storm birding were a damp squib. First the 101 west of Goleta was blocked, which torpedoed my Gaviota sea-watch plans. The near complete lack of wind in Goleta rendered any thoughts of sea-watching locally moot. The water levels in Goleta Slough are impressive and there were many ducks scattered in the marshes visible from the Area K overlook. A Common Loon on UCSB Lagoon was unusual but predictablyoiled. A male Merlin eating its prey was along the road at Devereux. -- Nick Lethaby Goleta, CA nlethaby@... Mobile: 805 284 6200 -- Nick Lethaby Goleta, CA |
