Subject: cranes and costa rica
From: Breck Tyler <ospr(AT)cats.ucsc.edu>
Date: 17 Jan 2002 4:27pm
Dear MBBers,
1) Friends of mine are planning to go to the Los Banos area refuges next week
end in search of sandhill cranes. Does
anyone know the best places to look this time of year?
2) I am planning a birding trip to the Corcovado region of Costa Rica. I was
going to stay at the Rio Sierpe Lodge
near Drake but their phone and email don't answer. Can anyone tell me the status
of this place or recommend another
in that area?
Thanks and apologies if this is inappropriate for MBB,
Breck Tyler

Subject: Bald eagle
From: Brian Walton <walton(AT)cats.ucsc.edu>
Date: 17 Jan 2002 4:51pm
I have a Cooper's hawk that sits in a dead pine snag in my Mission Hill
Junior High neighborhood backyard. It hunts small birds and doves this
time of year. On Tuesday I went out the door and looked up to see if it
was there and in the sky I happened to see an adult bald eagle soaring. It
soared in wide circles and got quite high and then I had to leave and go to
a meeting. I frequently see birds circling up over the eucalptus trees
above High Street and then heading south or east once they get altitude. I
have not noticed bald eagles before, but this time of year I guess most
anything can be passing through. It was at 9:20AM

Subject: 2 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS (still)
From: Todd Newberry <taxa(AT)darwin.UCSC.EDU>
Date: 17 Jan 2002 5:01pm
Since early December two WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS have been visiting the
hedge along Spring St, a few dozen yards beyond the southeast corner of
High & Spring (SCz), eating birdseed scattered there at 7-7:30a.m. daily,
and the raised platform feeders in the back yard there. They were still
visiting this morning. One is a striking adult; the other is much duller,
evidently a first-winter bird, so one can compare plumages.
The flocks there are rather skittish -- and with good reason, as a sharpie
and a merlin both now use the area as their deli. Recently, a Mourning Dove
there, chased (and caught, carried off a dozen yards, and devoured on the
ground) by the sharpie, flew so fast into a large window that it left an
extraordinary, ghostly gray image of dust -- both its outstretched wings,
the full girth of its body that must have hurtled forward at impact, its
open mouth, and even, as two precise marks, its very eyes!

Subject: movements and Another Golden Eagle
From: Brian Walton <walton(AT)cats.ucsc.edu>
Date: 17 Jan 2002 9:54pm
Although that seems logical, at this time of year it could also be another
eagle as they are moving all over the state. If you want an idea of how
much eagles move, you might check out some of the maps on our website of
telemetered eagles we have followed around North America.
