[EBB Sightings] LimeRidge OS

Seen at lower  Limeridge Open Space
three ways to get there:
1) Parking Lot between Navaronne and Cowell Bvd, off Treat, Concord
2) Anal Trail off Treat at San Miguel Rd.
3) (this is the best): End of Via Montanas Rd.:  From 680 take Treat, turn
left onto San Miguel (after Oak Grove Rd., before CC Canal) follow along
Pine Creek till road turns left - Via Montanas is on the right. Follow up
hill, across canal trail to "turn around'"end of block, at base of LimeRidge
OS. 

Seen last two days (Aug. 7 & 8), about 6 pm:
1 ) 1 pr. SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS  - narrowed it down among Coopers and Merlins
-  I know that's a big range, but you're welcomed to 'confirm'!
2) Altho' they're flying all over the area from Treat to Cowell, there are
also  5-7 BLACK SHOULDERED KITES, in oaks across from the parking area on
Via Montanas,  down from the pair of trees at the top of hill.

That's it for now, except for the brood of RING-NECKED PHEASANTS  seen last
week, oh, also  apparently HOODED ORIOLES abandoned three (3) nests - seen
in the landmark eucalyptus tree up the trail - the nests really look heavy -
I kept expecting to see fledglings at the end of July, but nothing's
happening and the adults are gone! (Maybe they should have stuck to
Washingtonia palms!?)
