At least one pair of WESTERN BLUEBIRDS have successfully launched a
family at Pt Pinole Regional Shoreline in Richmond. I hadn't been
down that way in over a month, so I'm not sure whether they used one
of the new nest boxes or not.
This morning (Wed, Apr 29), I saw the 2 adult bluebirds feeding 3
spotty, wide-mouthed fledglings in the eucalyptus in the south end of
the main picnic area along the paved main trail just past the bridge
over the railroad tracks. (This is just across the trail from some
of the nest boxes.) One fledgling was fluttering about from branch
to branch, but the other two were just being lumps with mouths.
A second adult male bluebird was seen on the far end of the picnic
area, landing on 3 different nest boxes, but showing no particular
association with any of them.
A flock of about 20 Cedar Waxwings was hanging around the picnic
area. It's consistent with my past years' observations that they're
everywhere at this time of the year.
Good birding,
