Hi Everyone!
This morning Ally R and I birded Calero Reservoir. We had a nice morning despite not seeing any grebes on nests, juvenile grebes or the Least Bittern. We did see an adult *Bald Eagle,* a family of *White-tailed Kites* (one adult, 3 juveniles with the rusty wash across their breasts), and an *American Kestrel*. On the water, we spotted *Western Grebes *and one *Clark's Grebe* but they weren't very active. Along the informal trails, we spotted several pairs of *Ash-throated Flycatchers* and *Western Kingbirds* (at one point an adult fed a young bird). A *Wild Turkey* with 6 poults was across the water and *Tree Swallows* were still using the nest boxes in the picnic area. A female *Purple Martin* at one point collected gravel/shell very close to the boat launch.
