[EBB Sightings] Re: Sightings Digest, Vol 46, Issue 8

Phila - 

Oh, yes!  They remain in our neighborhood in abundance.  Just yesterday
there were several feeding on our slope with an enormous male (undeterred by
my car) keeping watch and three juveniles just around the corner in the
driveway.  This morning at least four were about 30 feet up a neighbor's
Monterey Cypress, welcoming the monrning with dreadful vocalizations.

We here in Piedmont Pines (along Skyline just north of Chabot Science
Center) are not pleased or amused by their presence.
