Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary 4-13-14

A brief late afternoon visit to Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary located in the heart of Modjeska Canyon offered excellent close-up views of approximately 6 different Black-headed Grosbeaks from the bird porch (5 male and one female).  In addition, no less than 4 band-tailed pigeons and 6 California Quails could all be seen with ease from the bridge.  The area was most active with hummingbirds, acorn woodpeckers and there were previous sightings of Lazuli Buntings and a Calliope Hummingbird as reported by one of the caretakers.  Golden-crown Sparrows and Lark Sparrows were also reported on the chalk board within the bird house.
