[EBB Sightings] Sycamore Grove yesterday

Hi. Sycamore Grove was rather windy and cold and unproductive yesterday, but 
still had a few nice birds. The best were some early spring migrant 
swallows: two Northern Rough-winged and two Violet-green. An Osprey was seen 
carrying a fish face-forward over the park, and later perched in a tree near 
the creek. Also interesting were a small flock of Lark Sparrows at the 
horse-trailer parking lot, landing only a short distance up in a tree and 
giving me great views. There were also all the regular Bay Area park 
commoners, such as Red-shouldered Hawks, Northern Flickers, Nuttall's and 
Downy Woodpeckers, Mallards, Western Bluebirds, Bewick's Wrens, both 
subspecies of Yellow-rumped Warbler, a single Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit 
Thrushes, a single Spotted Towhee, and both Zonotrichia sparrows.
