Hi, all!
MJ and I covered Section 9 of the Santa Ana CBC this blustery morning, which
basically covers the ag fields north of US 281 along with a few isolated
patches of thornscrub/woodland, including a little hidden pond that almost
always hides night herons. A Burrowing Owl was reported around Amaya and
Border which we could NOT refind, but a Merlin harassing a Krider's Redtail
and a flyover Sprague's Pipit were nice. The Redwing-nadoes were
spectacular, but we could find no Yellowheads in with them this year. L A
handful of pictures are below:
