Spring time brings in a whole new set of nesting birds.
The less seen, but spectacularly colorful underside of a Black-headed Grosbeak.
Slightly different but equally beautifully colored yet when perched.
A male Western Bluebird standing tall on one of the new sprigs of Oak. We’ve had a pretty wet Spring so far, and the trees, plants and birds are loving it.
We know its Spring when male Snowy Egrets have red lores.
When seeing a Scrub Jay up close one can really appreciate it’s beauty.
Small and fast, so one has to be quick with the camera, but worth it. The Oak Titmouse.
One can often hear them long before seeing them. This time of year the males will perch and vocalize, it’s a great way to find them. Often you’ll hear a flurry of activity as a covey moves from one area of undergrowth to another. California Quail.
The Lake is now open to boating
With the Launch ramp still inaccessible, only vessels that can be walked down to the beach can be launched. However, the Lake is still closed to wing boards, windsurfing and paddle boarding due to the water quality. There will again be access with the end of the rainy spring when the water quality improves.
