Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace to the Pittock Mansion for the week 3/1 to 3/7/01. Species in ALL CAPS were neither seen nor heard the previous week (there were no new species on the dogwalk this week). The walk is about 1.7 miles in length with the altitude between 800 and 900 ft. There is no open water so any waterbirds seen are flyovers. We usually begin about 8:20AM and return around 9:40AM. The dog is a black English Cocker Spaniel. Species # days found (peak #, date) Canada Goose 2 (5, 3/4) Red-tailed Hawk 2 (1, 3/5 & 6) Gull, sp. 1 (1, 3/4) Band-tailed Pigeon 2 (1, 3/1 & 3) Mourning Dove 6 (5, 3/3) Anna's Hummingbird 7 (3, 3/3) Hummingbird, sp. 1 (1, 3/7) Downy Woodpecker 5 (4, 3/7) Northern Flicker 6 (3) Steller's Jay 7 (10) Western Scrub-Jay 2 (3) American Crow 5 (7, 3/5) Hutton's Vireo 3 (2, 3/5) Varied Thrush 7 (10, 3/2) American Robin 7 (40, 3/6) European Starling 6 (5) Red-breasted Nuthatch 7 (4, 3/1) Brown Creeper 5 (2) Bewick's Wren 4 (3, 3/4) Winter Wren 7 (6, 3/1) Bushtit 5 (8, 3/6) Ruby-crowned Kinglet 7 (6, 3/5) Golden-crowned Kinglet 7 (10, 3/4) Black-capped Chickadee 7 (20) Chestnut-backed Chickadee 6 (15, 3/4) Pine Siskin 7 (35, 3/2) House Finch 7 (25, 3/6) Song Sparrow 7 (18, 3/5) Dark-eyed Junco 7 (25, 3/3) Spotted Towhee 7 (8) In neighborhood but not found on dogwalk: Accipiter, sp. 1 (1, 3/6) WESTERN SCREECH-OWL 1 (1, 3/3) Red-breasted Sapsucker 1 (1, 3/3) By the end of the week, Varied Thrush and Golden-crowned Kinglet numbers dropped sharply.
