Today was an awesome day for birding at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. We
had 7 birders for Willow, Pintail and Cattail Lakes with a total of 73 species.
The highlights was again the "tower" of juvenile and adult White-tailked Hawks
at Pintail Lakes in addition to an American Avocet among the Black-necked
stilts on Pintail Rasaca 7. There were also greater number of Gray Hawks and
we added FOS 2 Buffleheads. The Eared Grebe and Green Kingfisher eluded us
today. Happy birding everyone!
I will be leading a bird walk Saturday morning at 8:30 and look for additional
bird walks that will be scheduled throughout the week.
