Russell Free Res., 2mi NW Lafayette, Contra Costa Co, Calif
30 Mar Recaptured & of Mulberry. He looks fine, back
OK, wt - 23.0g.
1 April Netted Fw/BL 4%♀; and Fw/BL: PK/GR at the
W side of small pine grove. Fly were netted
~1000hrs that nets set up at the far E next
larger pine grove with circle drive but only saw
Fw/PK. He looked like his head had not been groomed.
He was calling and flying but left foot would not clear
around branches and he seemed to bottle in the brush.
I left the nets up in hopes of catch his mate
and the other pair I heard at the circle drive
yesterday. Many Bewick's Wrens on the N side
of the Channel. Today it was clear early
in the morning windy (10-15mph, ~45-50) at
0630 hour, it has warmed up and wind died
down but little overcast, birds seem more active
now. 11:42 am I saw observing BK/fin's at the
brush pile to see if I can find their nest. BK/fin's:
PK/4♀ ; BK/PW or ? . I was calling from
top most dead snag of the pile as I merged out
of the low lying vegetation 50 ft for 2 tall trees. She flew
to S next edge of pile as submerged into it. I can
hear OK/PW: PK calling from W side of pond. Sounds
like he doesn't have a mate yet. I walked along
Res ridge road this morning past creek down to
Central Valley. Nothing too good but lots and lots of
Poison Oak. 12:10 pm saw both individuals on wood pile.
