Howdy,
Yesterday on a nature walk Jenny Anderson, a few others and I were
lucky enough to spot a GOLDEN EAGLE flying above the Great Meadow on
campus. Its behavior was quite interesting - it would soar for a few
seconds and then stoop for a few seconds (tucking its wings in and
diving). It repeated this behavior probably 10 or more times before
flying out of sight. I haven't seen this before, but it seemed to be
a display.
This morning on my ride to work I spotted 3 WESTERN BLUEBIRDS near
the main entrance to UCSC - right where the bike trail begins, along
the old rickety fence. Once again, there were 2 males and 1 female
foraging along the bike trail.
Cheers,
Tonya

Subject: MBB: Orchard Oriole
From: Madeline Spencer <mmfrodo(AT)cruzio.com>
Date: 1 Feb 2002 12:00pm
Thanks to Roger Wolfe's appearance and keen eyes, I finally saw the orchard
oriole Friday AM about 10:30. It flew from the willows to the low
eucalyptus overhanging the trail near marker 3 at Natural Bridges and posed
in the tree long enough to give us a good front and back view. So it's still
there. The mixed flock of yellow rumps, bushtits, chickadees, American and
lesser goldfinch have been abundant each time I have visited. A gopher near
us was venturing from his hole to bring in grasses. Good view of brown
creeper along the trail near marker 6 as well as the song of a wrentit.
Two days ago on the road right below marker 3, I had a long look at a
foraging Bewick's wren who sated himself on insects and then perched on a
low bush limb and sang heartily for several minutes. Also saw Hutton's vireo
along with ruby-crowned kinglets-- nice comparison.
The black-throated blue warbler is still at my feeder though less
frequently, but the Costa's left after January 16 when the cold snap
started.

Hi All,
Today (2/1) a BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER was along Casserley Creek at Wheelock
Road about 0.1 mi. up from Casserley Road. A female BULLOCK'S ORIOLE was in
the eucs where Green Valley Road crosses Casserley Creek. An imm. FERRUGINOUS
HAWK was soaring over Green Valley Road about half a mile up from Wheelock
Road. A WHITE-THROATED SPARROW was at Scott Park off Freedom Blvd, and
another was just upstream of Merk Pond.
Two female EVENING GROSBEAKS were in box elders in the central part of
Sycamore Grove along the San Lorenzo. A MERLIN flew over the grove. A
NASHVILLE WARBLER was in the flower eucs. at the end of Felker St. near the
river, off Graham Hill Road.
Barbara Scharfenstein reported seeing the TUFTED DUCK at Westlake Pond
yesterday (1/31), along with one GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE.
