Thanks to all that responded to my query about best photo spots for
Yellow-billed Magpies and Yellowlegs!
Below is a compilation of the responses in case anyone else is
interested:
Yellow-billed Magpies:
- Tesla Road and the lower portion of Mines road in Livermore,
- West end of Sycamore Park in Livermore,
- Del Valle Park, especially in the campground area and the east shore,
- Sunol Regional Park around the horse corral and the parking lot for
horse trailers,
- Calaveras reservoir area (Felter and Marsh roads up behind Ed Levin
Park in Milpitas),
- Rest stops on 101 just north of Paso Robles,
- Around Davis. Look for them building nests along Old Davis Road and
South Mace Blvd.
Yellowlegs (mostly greater):
- Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center,
- Emeryville near Trader Vics around low tide,
- Berkeley at Aquatic Park off of Ashby
- Las Positas Creek between Bluebell Avenue and Springtown Blvd, about
1 mile north of Hwy 580,
- Pleasanton Ponds,
- Frick Lake,
- The entry to Don Edwards NWR on the south side of Paseo Padre/
Thornton in Newark,
- Yolo Basin Wildlife Area (aka - Vic Fazio Refuge) in Yolo Co,
- Henry Miller Rd. in Los Banos (for Lesser).
Thanks again to the dozen or so that emailed me!
Happy birding,
Steve
