這是我們參加今年數鳥活動的紀錄，前三天都在自己家裡或附近社區進行觀察，可能因為天氣炎熱，鳥兒似乎不太出來活動，總覺得記到的種類和數目比平常來得少。高潮在最後一天的Salton Sea之旅--滿天snow goose，white pelican乘風翔飛，還有田野中的white-faced ibis，水塘裡的green-winged teal，夕陽下湖邊滿立的ring-billed gull--半天下來看見總數八千隻以上的鳥，對第一次參加bird count的人來說，還真是眼力跟計數能力的大特訓呀！ 2/16 (Fri) Time: 4-5pm Location: around my apartment, Pasadena Weather: clear Total number of Species Observed: 9 Acorn Woodpecker 4 Mourning Dove 3 House Finch 6 Towsend's Warbler 1 Northern Mockingbird 1 Band-tailed Pigeon 1 European Starling 13 House Sparrow 2 Rufous Hummingbird 1 2/17 (Sat) Time: 1-3pm Location:Lacy Park, San Marino Weather: clear, warm Total number of species Observed: 19 Western Scrub-Jay 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 4 Bushtit 15 House Finch 3 Acorn Woodpecker 3 Cedar Waxwing 3 Orange-Crowned Warbler 1 Anna's Hummingbird 3 Towsend's Warbler 1 Black Phoebe 1 Western Bluebird 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Mourning Dove 4 Rock Pigeon 4 Band-tailed Pigeon 1 Yellow-chevroned Parakeet 2 American Crow 2 Cooper's Hawk 1 Red-tailed Hawk 1 Time:4:15-5pm Location:around my apartment, Pasadena Weather: partly cloudy Total number of species: 11 Band-tailed Pigeon 1 Mourning Dove 3 European Starling 12 Yellow-rumped Warbler 10 Anna's Hummingbird 1 Northern Mockingbird 2 Acorn Woodpecker 3 House Finch 4 House Sparrow 6 Cedar Waxwing 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 2/18 (Sun) Time: 3:30-5pm, Location: Chantry Flat, Angeles National Forest Weather: partly coudy Total number of Species Observed: 15 Stellar's Jay 3 Western Crub Jay 1 Band-tailed Pigeon 1 Mourning Dove 3 Northern Flicker 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Wrentit 2 House Finch 1 Lesser Goldfinch 2 yellow-rumped Warbler 1 Dark-eyed Junco 3 Mountain Chickadee 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Spotted Towhee 1 American Crow 1 2/19 (Mon) Time:9:30-10am Location:around my apartment, Pasadena Weather: partly cloudy Total number of species: 10 Rock Pigeon 2 Band-tailed Pigeon 3 Mourning Dove 3 Acorn Woodpecker 1 American Crow 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Northern Mockingbird 1 European Starling 16 Yellow-rumped Warbler 2 House Finch 4 Time: 1:45-6pm Location: Sonny Bono Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge Weather: partly cloudy, windy Total number of Species Observed: 41 Greater White-fronted Goose 12 Snow Goose 3000 Ross's Goose 100 Cinnamon Teal 5 Northern Shoveler 10 Northern Pintail 2 Green-winged Teal 400 Ruddy Duck 130 Eared Grebe 3 Western Grebe 3 American White Pelican 1200 Double-crested Cormorant 50 Great Blue Heron 1 Great Egret 2 Snowy Egret 40 Green Heron 1 White-faced Ibis 1060 Turkey Vulture 1 Northern Harrier 2 American Kestrel 2 Peregrine Falcon 1 American Coot 57 Killdeer 5 Black-necked Stilt 1 American Avocet 12 Long-billed Curlew 30 Western Sandpiper 2 Least Sandpiper 6 Dunlin 5 Long-billed Dowitcher 300 Ring-billed Gull 1400 California Gull 23 Caspian Tern 2 Mourning Dove 5 Belted Kingfisher 1 Black Phoebe 1 Tree Swallow 20 European Starling 4 Yellow-rumped Warbler 5 Red-winged Blackbird 80 Great-tailed Grackle 40 (Total number of Species Observed during GBBC: 68)
