Spring Migrants Field Trip

It was sunny and warm day – a perfect day for a field trip.  We found Swainson's hawks in many locations, ospreys on McDonald Road and Highway 12, black-necked stilts on Frog Hollow Road and at Tyson Ponds, American avocets, over a hundred Caspian terns and a glaucous gull at the Delta, barn swallows and a western kingbird on the Lowden/Gardena Road, an Eurasian wigeon and a great egret at Tyson Ponds, great horned owls and chicks in several locations, barn owls on Dodd Road, swarms of cliff swallows on Byrnes Road, a large flock of bank swallows on Frog Hollow, northern rough-winged swallows in several places....the list goes on.  Thanks to all of you for a fun day.  Ginger
