[EBB Sightings] Tassajara Creek Park

Today I had 2 Wilson's Warblers, seen from the foot bridge at Tassajara
Creek Park. Also Bullock's Orioles are in the park, I hear them but so
far haven't seen them. 

The Cooper's Hawks have completed the nest in my backyard tree. I rarely
see them carrying nesting material, however they remain nearby. Most of
the time spent sitting in neighborhood trees. I witnessed copulation
about 1 week ago. The female is more vocal, calling every time she
swoops up to the nest site. Some times you can hear her coming several
blocks away. The hawks don't seem to bother the White-crown or
Golden-crown sparrow at my feeder but the Morning Dove population has
plummeted. Normally I'd have 10-12 MODO's at the backyard feeders and
another dozen at the front yard feeder. 

Good birding.
