This post is about the 5th week class of 2020 Birds of the Santa Barbara Region: Intermediate. Class started at North Campus Open Space where Canada Geese, Black-necked Stilts, American Crows, and Mallards were present. Our group identified 47 bird species.

On the road between Devereux Slough and North Campus Open Space, a White-tailed Kite at a distance and a glimpse of Blue-gray Gnatcatcher close-by.
A new life bird for many of us: a Burrowing Owl standing on "Urbanite" (broken pieces of unwanted concrete leftover from a demolition project).
We resumed our walk and observed Western Bluebirds, Lesser Goldfinches as well as a Downy Woodpecker and a female Common Yellowthroat.
