Two Buttes State Wildlife Area
Yesterday aftnoon I birded Two Buttes SWA in the "black hole" area below the dam. I ran into 2 other birders that are friends of mine and we birded together for a while.
They had found a Golden-crowned Kinglet but I was unable to refind it. I did hear two of the Bewick Wrens they found.
Mark found a Swamp Sparrow and spotted a Golden Eagle soaring in the distance. We watched a Downey Woodpecker work a tree. Brandon spotted two Wood Ducks on one of the ponds.
Other birds there were Mountain Bluebirds, Canyon Wrens, a Song Sparrow, a Harrier Hawk, Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Flickers and lots of Robins. This is almost always a very productive area.
Oh, and on my way to Two Buttes, I saw a Prairie Falcon.
