Date Notes on Other Birds
10/14 [1] Green Heron, [2] Black Phoebe, [5] Cassin's Kingbird
10/16 [50+] Brewer's Blackbirds & Brown-headed Cowbirds, [1] Tree Swallow, [1] Copper's Hawk - I don't know what happened to the Egyptian Geese. For the last two years when they stopped by in migration they stayed for 2-6 weeks each time but this fall they only came for less then 2 weeks.
10/22 [1] Thayer's Gull (2nd Winter), [1] Black Phoebe, [5] Cassin's Kingbird, [1] Green Heron - The Egyptian Geese returned tonight at 5:59pm (10 mins. before Sundown). They were in a very boisterous mood along with the Wigeon, Wood & Mandarin Ducks. All the males were puffed trying to impress the females.
10/28 [5] Cassin's Kingbird, [200+] Brewer's Blackbirds & Brown-headed Cowbirds, [1] Snowy Egret - The Egyptian Geese returned tonight 15 mins. before Sundown
11/02 [200+] Brewer's Blackbirds & Brown-headed Cowbirds, [1] Snowy Egret, [1] Cassin's Kingbird - There was construction at the park so it may have kept the Canada Geese at the pond in the Golf Course. The Egyptian Geese returned tonight 30 mins. before Sundown.
12/27 [200+] Brewer's Blackbirds & Brown-headed Cowbirds, [2] Snowy Egret, [2] Cassin's Kingbird,  [3] Female Hooded Merganser, [1] Common Yellowthroat, Southwest Variant, [1] Yellow-rumped Warbler, [6] Ring-necked Duck, [1] Greater Scaup, [1] Black Phoebe, [15+] California Gull, [1] Snow Goose - The pond now has more American Wigeon then Mallards or American Coots.
