[EBB Sightings] Eurasian Collared-Dove in Contra Costa County

This morning I birded around the intersection of Bethal Island Road and Willow Road W. on Bethal Island in Contra Costa County.  This is all the way to the end of Bethal Island Road. I found 2 Eurasian Collared-Doves in front of the second house on Willow Rd W. from Bethal Island Rd. I first heard them calling and then tracted them down. Around the intersection was a male Black-chinned Hummingbird and back along Bethal Island Road near the green gate were a pair of Blue Grosbeaks.  Also had a Swainson's Hawk circle overhead.  Use caution when birding this area as some people have had problems with the locals.  Later in the morning I found another Blue Grosbeak on the power lines along Holland Tract Rd.
