Media notes
NOTES: Several cuts combined, none of them very good; two to three birds foraging low over gentle west facing slope along upper part of Rattlesnake Flats Trail (maybe Rattlesnake Flats?) overlooking Coon Creek; vegetation here was quite open and combined Chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum) and Morro Manzanita (Arctostaphylos morroensis), both more typical of chaparral than Coastal Sage Scrub, but also with Sticky Monkey Flower (Mimulus aurantiacus) and Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis); initially two birds flying low overhead (often 10-30 m up) at a distance of 100 m, later three birds at 50 m, and eventually one bird as close as 25 m over a more grassy slope; birds were flying rapidly in the breeze and thus very difficult to follow and often going behind hillside; breeze now clearly from the northwest; clear and in the low 60s. Number of individuals=UU2-3;. Other Behaviors: Establish Flock Contact. Habitat: Grassland, Evergreen Forest, Chaparral.
