[EBB Sightings] Lewis Woodpeckers

Yes, Lewis's Woodpeckers continue at Los Vaqueros this
afternoon (10/14/05).  One was visible in the tree at
the Interpretive Center.

Many more were easily seen at the junction of Vista
Grande Trail and Crest Trail (#14 and #13 on their
map).
See http://www.ccwater.com/losvaqueros/recreation.asp
About a dozen were in the air, looking like big
swallows.  (they take insects on the wing).

Also seen on the trail:
Golden Eagle
White Pelican
Dbl Crested Cormorant
Golden Crowned Sparrow
Crow
Meadowlark
Scrub Jay
Acorn Woodpecker
Prairie Falcon
Red Tail Hawk

Thanks, Cheryl, for this long-sought-after lifer.
