This windy morning (Sat, July 11), during a walk along the Carquinez
Strait Overlook Loop Trail at Carquinez Strait RS (Crockett end of
the park), we had a few interesting sightings, nothing stupendous.
New birds for us for this location were a Lark Sparrow and 2
Ash-throated Flycatchers.
We also saw an Osprey, which I haven't seen here in over 10
years. He caught a fish and headed up the strait towards Martinez
with it. Anyone know of an Osprey nest in the Martinez area?
Other fun birds included 3 Western Bluebirds (this has always been a
fairly reliable spot for bluebirds) and a Wrentit teed up singing.
Good birding,
