[EBB Sightings] BREEDING WILD TURKEYS

Seen on the EBMUD trail, from Inspiration Point, Tilden Park
 
 
Wild Turkeys -  Two adults and three immature
Lawrence's Goldfinch - a small group of about a dozen
American Goldfinch - numerous
Western Bluebird
Rufous-Sided Towhee
 
Great Horned Owl -  I came around a bend in the trail, walking slowly  and 
quietly, and caught sight of this owl sitting on a low branch of one of  the 
live oak which overhang this trail.  We contemplated each other for  about 15 min 
from a distance of less than 50 feet, me with 10 power binoculars  and the 
owl with its even sharper vision.  I continued very slowly along  the trail, 
leaving this magnificent bird in its solitude.  What a  day!
