[EBB Sightings] Raptors in Livermore and East Contra Costa

Hello E.B.Birders,

Yesterday, I joined Lisa Hug?for a raptor scout-out in the Livermore area and East Contra Costa. Here?are?our results:

Rough-legged Hawk - one perched on?the same utility pole it used last December,?near the?south end of?Byron Hot Springs Road. 

Swainson's Hawks - four seen in flight at various locations?near J-4 in?East CCC. 

Osprey - one at Clifton Court Forebay.

Bald Eagle -?four?total;?2 adults on and near the nest?at Del Valle Reservoir, 2 adults flying in tandem over?Round Valley Regional Preserve.

Golden Eagle - 1 flying over Round Valley Regional Preserve, right below the Bald Eagles.

Red-tailed Hawk, Red-shouldered, Northern Harrier, White-tailed Kite, American Kestrel - were also seen in various locations. 

Great Horned Owl and Barn Owl in Livermore, as previously reported.? Burrowing Owls were?in East Contra Costa.
?
We also enjoyed watching 15 Whimbrels and about 100 Long-billed Curlew?foraging in the field along Deer Valley Road near Chadbourne?Road?in Antioch.
?
I?had the good fortune to?record?the delightful songs of?2 individual?Tricolored Blackbirds (instead of?a?huge flock)?that were singing?at the end of Byron Hot Springs Road.?

All the Best Birding,
