[EBB Sightings] Ferruginous Hawk at Briones

Today (Sat, Feb 16), we had extensive views of a light-morph juvenile 
FERRUGINOUS HAWK at Briones Regional Park.  The hawk was first seen 
just north of the Sindicich Lagoons along the Lagoon Trail.  It was 
polite enough to fly around the area while we sat on the bench in the 
fenced area at the northern Sindicich Lagoon and was still visible as 
far south as the junction of the Lagoon Trail with the Briones Crest Trail.

Unless my memory fails me, this is the same area where a Ferruginous 
Hawk hung out around this time last year.

We didn't see anything else out of the ordinary.  Best of the 
rest:  1 Band-tailed Pigeon flyby, 1 singing Hutton's Vireo, 3 Horned 
Larks, lots of Western Bluebirds.
