[EBB Sightings] Castle Rock - peregrines & eagles

EBB,

I went to Castle Rock Regional Park today to watch Peregrine Falcons, and they did not disappoint 
--- the best viewing was just after the main trail enters Mt. Diablo State Park.

White-throated Swifts and Violet-green Swallows were present in numbers, and there were a few 
Cliff Swallows. While staring upwards at the falcons, I was lucky to see an immature Bald Eagle, 
and an adult Golden Eagle. One of the picnic areas along the trail held a small flock of Lark 
Sparrows. There were Orange-crowned Warblers singing all along the trail.

good birding,

Chris Witt
