[EBB Sightings] Contra Loma Regional Park - Burrowing Owl Update

This morning we revisited Contra Loma Regional Park and counted six  
Burrowing Owlets, up from the four that we had observed and reported  
yesterday.  Both adults were present and occasionally brought food to  
the babies which were at or near the two burrows that appear to be  
connected.  Whenever that occurred the owlets quickly waddled to the  
adult, their gait reminding us of baby penguins.

Other sightings included families of Western Bluebirds ( a good sign  
that they are using the nest boxes), Bullock's Oriole, American  
Kestrel and White-tailed Kite.  We also observed a Great Egret catch  
and eat a dragonfly.

Good Birding,

Paul and Nancy Schorr
