The third week of our California trip was spent in Groveland. We stayed in an AirBnB on Pine Mountain Lake. Our accommodation was a lodge, set in the woodlands, and we managed to record a good variety of wildlife whilst sitting on the porch area!
Most numerous were the California Scrub Jays that
woke us up every day, but we also spotted Steller’s Jays, Acorn
Woodpecker, Turkey Vulture (very common, with up to 15 seen
together, and 1 seen feeding on a dead Western Grey Squirrel, by the
road), California Quail, White-breasted Nuthatch, Nuttall’s
Woodpecker, Red-breasted Sapsucker, Collared Dove, Mourning
Dove, Barn Swallow, Anna’s Hummingbird, Oak Titmouse, Brewer’s
Blackbird, Brown-headed Cowbird, Canada Goose, Mallard,
Cliff Swallow, Red-tailed Hawk, Pied-billed Grebe, American
Robin, Wild Turkey, Raven, California Thrasher, Northern
Flicker (red-shafted), Bushtit, House Finch, House Sparrow
and Eurasian Starling.
