Others that went on the field trip to Barb's place can share their
observations/thoughts/photos as you like or send to me.... In any case, I'm
going to share my bird lists and photos as this week is going to get busy
for me.
Five of us plus Barb had a great time looking for birds (and other things)
at her place on Roberts Creek Rd south of Dixonville. THANK-YOU BARB FOR
HAVING IS; WE REALLY ENJOYED YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY AND BIRDS!!! I recorded
36 species of birds from Barb's place, though several, such as a very
distant GOLDEN EAGLE, were a long way away. Other fun birds were CALIFORNIA
TOWHEE, one WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, great looks at a pair of RED-BREASTED
SAPSUCKERS, and what may have been a male/female pair of NORTHERN
PYGMY-OWLS!!! List and Photos are here:

Next we went to O.C. Brown County park, where the dog poop made it a little
more difficult to look up for the birds..... Nevertheless, there were a few
birds here, including a group of four RED-TAILED HAWKS, and another GOLDEN
EAGLE. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S49659862
We next went to the GOSH Pond, aka Dixonville Quarry, where, well, we had do
step over some dead deer, but in any case we found a fairly cooperative
SWAMP SPARROW, and SAY'S PHOEBE, among a variety of other sparrows,
warblers, and bluebirds. List and Photos here:
