[cayugabirds-l] Sunday SFO Derby Hill trip group Y

2013-04-22 Thread bilbaker
Our group's experience at Derby Hill was very similar to the group led by Dave Nicosia with a few exceptions which are worth noting. At the lake overlook several of us had good looks at a Golden-crowned Kinglet in the pines on the west side of the overlook. From the N look out area we walked

We had similar birds as Dave described in Derby Hill, and Dave forgot to mention a Raven that flew over when we were at the 'snipe' spot at junction of 3 and 104B. We also saw a COOPERS HAWK and a BROWN THRASHER while on the 'hill'. We split off from Derby Hill to Sterling Nature Center,
