Dear Birders:

At noon today I stopped by the quarry lake adjacent to the Rockridge =
Center parking lot, following Bob Brattigan's directions in an earlier =
posting.  I'm assuming that when he visited a couple of weeks ago there =
was still open water. Now the lake is completely lidded with duck weed =
and there were no birds on the water.  But the tall eucalyptus that grow =
along the top of the rock wall cast wonderful long shadows acrossn the =
chartreuse surface.  I continued along the fence toward the east end =
where I could hear the waterfall.  Adjacent to the waterfall, perched at =
the end of a downed tree over the water, a green heron with neck =
outstretched never moved during the time I was there.  Below where I =
stood, a male red-shouldered hawk, maintained his perch on a nearby =
pier. Except for occasionally turning his head, the hawk never moved =
either.=20

A few yards away, cars and trucks came and went, the speaker system at =
Longs produced its continuous messages while the hawk and the heron =
remained unperturbed.=20
