[EBB Sightings] Sobrante Ridge

This morning (Apr 19, 2009), we had 2 good sightings along the 
Sobrante Ridge Trail at Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve:

- SWAINSON'S HAWK (appeared to be a light-morph juvenile).  This is 
the furthest west I've seen this species.  Came from the south, 
circled above us a couple times, and was last seen heading north.

- HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER.  Seen just south of the junction with the 
Broken Oak Trail.

On the non-bird front, 2 separate 3-ft gopher snakes were seen in the 
trail, enjoying the warm weather I'm sure.


Good birding,
