    Dear Birders,
    TOday I walked from the parking lot at the end of Arroyo Rd. in 
    Livermore to the top of the hill overlooking the Del Valle Reservoir. 
     Roughly halfway between I saw a CALLIOPE HUMMER perched in a Buckeye 
    that was next to a stand of Black Sage, just a few yards off the 
    trail.
    According to BIRDS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Calliope Hummers are 
    uncommon migrants in the Bay Area and found only at this time of year.
    Otherwise, bird activity was pretty good for an afternoon walk; among 
    the usual suspects I saw one GOLDEN EAGLE and a COOPER'S HAWK.
    Good birding,
    Emily Serkin
