Observation details

Continuing. Light grey bird with black wings, white outer tail feathers and white secondary wing feathers obvious when flying. First, around 9:10am, we saw one bird fly into huge pine tree about at Nancy C’s first pin (32.88066° N, 116.45433° W), on Big Laguna Trail at intersection with Laguna Campground Trail. It vocalized only once. It worked pine cones for only a minute or so then flew back southwest across the meadow into pines. Checking pines across the meadow and (32.87981° N, 116.45570° W) produced two additional birds, one making several rattling calls. Later, around 1:45pm, we saw two Clark’s Nutcrackers in group of pines isolated on a small hill at 32.87865° N, 116.45954° W, just east of the southern end of Big Laguna Lake. One of those birds eventually flew west across the lake into the pine forest.
