While in downtown Watsonville on Freedom Boulevard this evening around 5:30
p.m. (01/19/02), I saw a flock of between 40 to 50 CANADA GEESE heading East.
Possibly the trio of geese at Westlake Pond that "chased" us were calling in
reinforcements, David?
^V^ Happy Birding Ya'll ^V^

The TUFTED DUCK and 2 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE continue today at Westlake
Pond in Santa Cruz. No sign of the Canada's, maybe one of the neighbors
finally got tired of them?

Just had two RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKERS being harrassed by at leat three of =
my plentiful ACORN WOODPECKERS. I'd previously seen only one sapsucker =
on three occasions 2-3 weeks ago. I watched for about a minute and =
a-half as the sapsuckers would land on one of three adjacent pine =
trunks, only to be driven to another tree. Within 10 seconds they would =
be forced to yet another of the trees. This repeated about five times - =
a nice flurry of red, black, and white with perfect lighting.
Finally the sapsuckers flew to a eucalyptus about 75' away. All is calm =
at the moment.
Would someone follow-up with their knowledge of the =
"territoriality"/dominance of these two species. In the year and a-half =
I've been at this location - Corralitos vicinity - I hadn't seen a =
sapsucker until three weeks ago. The Acorn Woodpeckers have always been =
numerous, and I've counted up to 7 or 8 individuals at once.

I don't know much about the behavior of Sapsuckers, but I got couple =
of nice pictures of a Red-breasted Sapsucker a couple of days ago. This =
bird was at a friends house in Watsonville/Corralitos area. She said =
this is the first time she has seen one at this location. A very tame =
bird, I got within 10 feet to get these pictures. Here is a link to =
the pictures... =20

Hi Birders:
Ruth Rominger, Lars Tomanek, Dan Karvonen and I birded the San Luis Refuge
Complex over the weekend. We were awe-struck by flights of thousands of
geese and cranes. We had the best view of our lives of a preening Sora in
perfect light. Among thousands of ducks, we were able to pick out a fiery
male Eurasian Wigeon. And in Merced NWR, we found a very cooperative Eastern
Phoebe foraging near the maintenance buildings at the beginning of the auto
tour route. Lars took photos of this bird and I was able to do a sketch (see
attached). This bird was seen around 2:30 pm earlier today. In addition to
birds, we saw Tule Elk and 3 coyotes.
Good birding,
Alex Cruz
