Hi everyone, I was just at Myers and Salt Point. Salmon Creek is being dredged (from the Salt Point side) and there is currently a huge heap of dredged soil filling much of Salt Point's "bluebird meadow". The milkweed area ("Monarch Waystation") has been protected. Does anyone know what the

The osprey nest south of Canoga has been active all summer with almost always a parent sighted there. They seem to be feeding. To my surprise, the nest on Ernsberger Road, near Knapp Winery, is also active. It had appeared abandoned in June but is not active, I think there are chicks. The nest at

The three osprey young at the Salt Point nest in Lansing will probably fledge today. It's fantastic to watch them get their first air and fly! There are also three young in the nearby Myers Hill nest, which are about a week or so behind the Salt Point trio. Many of the other area nests will fledge

A walk around Salt Point this morning turned up a pair of BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, foraging and calling “spee” to one another. Most of the nest boxes appeared to be occupied by Tree Swallows - until I noticed House Sparrows commanding two of them. Half a dozen Barn Swallows were flitting over
