[EBB Sightings] Hather Farm Birds

This week the White-crowned Sparrows and Yellow-rumped Warblers returned to 
Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek.  Yellow Warblers are still around various 
areas of the park.  They have fairly strong chips.  16 Killdeers were on the 
north ball field.

Slightly to the north, we continue to see the Juncos coming to our patio, 
the fledglings no longer are requiring parents to feed them.  We have not 
seen the California Towhees for maybe 4 days.  They had been collecting our 
morning mealworms to feed a fledgling out in front of our house.  It was 
never brought into our patio, but kept in the bushes or trees nearby. 
Rosita saw it along the sidewalk once, with its very short tail.  I finally 
saw it high in one of the trees, nearly hidden by the leaves.
