Today we took our annual day-after-thanksgiving birding trip down to Ogier Ponds near Morgan Hill, where we found some very cooperative Osprey and Turkey Vultures. Too cooperative, really -- we filled up flash cards like there was no tomorrow, and frankly tried Mary's patience as the Vultures sunned themselves while allowing us to approach quite closely.
The most exciting birding moment was a very quick glimpse at, and one photograph of, a Green-tailed towhee. I've never seen this species in Santa Clara county before, so I was pretty excited to find him; unfortunately, I was unable to show the bird to either Mary or Ashok.
After winding up our Ogier Ponds stop with some very gratifying Osprey watching, Mary and I finished up the day at Calero Reservoir, which we found very conducive to (a) napping, and (b) visiting with friendly horses, who think Mary's clothing is really yummy.
