Sorry for the late post due to company, etc. We saw 3 Sage Thrashers in upper White Ranch Open Space on Mon, Sep 5. One of the three was a juv and one of the others was feeding it. I have seen and photographed them there on 18 Aug 2009. Few other spp of note in lower Wht Ranch OS or Golden Gate Canyon SP that day.
Amazingly, we were the only visitors to Rocky Mt Arsenal NWR on Tues, the 6th, in cloudy weather. Lots of Swainson's Hawks including an adult and juv together on adjoining poles. Flocks of Lark Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows, W Kingbirds, Am Kestrel eating prey, and young Monarch caterpillars feeding on Asclepias (they better hurry!). The fall native grasses and forbs are gorgeous! Kay Kayleen A.
