Hi Birders,
My daughter got married yesterday, things went well, and I went birding =
this morning... life is good!!!
I went to the Clear Lake NWR about 20 miles south of Delta.  Although I =
didn't see any rarities, it sure felt good to get out and start birding =
as the sun peeked over the mountains to the east!  Once I left the main =
highway (Hiway 257?) I had the entire area to myself, well almost, just =
me and the train that I had to wait for 15 minutes to unblock the road =
out of the refuge.
I saw 3 Loggerhead Shrikes, which is the most I've seen at one time / =
location.  I watched Pied-Billed Grebes impersonating submarine =
perescopes, and a Black Crowned Night Heron looked as if he was going to =
fly through my open van windows.  I saw a couple of Yellow Warblers, and =
another warbler sp. that I could not entice to leave the thicket to get =
a better view.
There were a couple of sparrows that I think were giving me Ann =
Neville's rash!   They'd fly out on to the road, but before I could =
focus on them, they'd be in the sage brush or phragmites.  So I would =
wait until they came out again, which didn't happen.  Or at least didn't =
happen until I started to look at something else!!!  I think I have =
discovered a new species, and I think I will give it the scientific name =
"Teaseritis extremus".
Bottom line is that it was a beautiful day to get out and enjoy the =
birds!!!

Bruce
