Black Phoebe & Red-shouldered Hawk at Cain Ranch
July 16th, 2012 by David WimpfheimerDate of sighting: July 15, 2012
Yesterday my Point Reyes Field Institute class and I observed a BLACK PHOEBE near the old house at Cain Ranch. This site is north of the June Lake loop. We also saw a juvenile RED-SHOULDERED HAWK here. I believe both of these species are fairly uncommon in the Mono Basin. On July 14 there were about 5,000 WILSON’S PHALAROPES feeding and flying in large groups at the end of the County Park boardwalk.
