Cheam Wetlands, Sept 11.

Hi all: Had the chance to do a stroll around the Loop Trial at the Wetlands this morning. Highlights were two Black-thoated Grey Warblers, and a ( heard only ), Northern Pygmy Owl. I'm pretty sure of the i.d. on the owl, as it responced to my imitation, and was being mobbed by Steller Jays. Unfortunately, it must have been high in the Cottonwoods, ( at the back of the trail ), and I couldn't eyeball it, despite trying for over half an hour. Cheers, Thor

Pesky Pygmy-owls love to do that! Great record for the wetlands. It's been a little while since the last one.
