Notes |
12-25-2014/Laguna |
Diving between the reed beds, then lounging on the fence; have also seen skimming the water edge mid-lake on east side and resting in the eucs there
|
15-01-2015/Arb |
Fly-over at first pond, chattering loudly, then out to the campus
|
04-02-2015/Craig |
Seen numerous times before, always a lone male, favoring the sycamores on the point and along the lower north creek
|
21-04-2015/Arb |
Startled him on a limb over the first pond; he flew rapid circles, cackling loudy, then paused long enough for a quick picture before heading out toward the campus
