[EBB Sightings] Sunol Regional Park GGAS trip

About 15 birders joined me this morning for a Golden Gate Audubon Society
birdwalk in Sunol Regional Park to Little Yosemite. In addition to the
beautiful weather, trip highlights includes a couple RED-TAILED HAWK nests,
including 1 with 2 fledglings; a BULLOCK'S ORIOLE nest with parents
delivering food and hauling away fecal sacks; 2 WARBLING VIREOS building a
nest in an Alder tree; a soaring GOLDEN EAGLE; a flyby MERGANSER sp.; and a
flock of BAND-TAILED PIGEONS. 

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day is that we did not see nor hear a
single YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIE. Does anyone know why they've abandoned this
area? Anything to do with the crows?

Here's the complete list.
