Stockton Rural Cemetery

I spent a pleasant morning at the old Stockton Rural Cemetery today, (eBird list https://ebird.org/checklist/S76052130). Not a great variety of species, but lots of individuals. Early on, I had an apparent family group of three coyotes trot by me among the tombstones. During the 3 hours I was there, I saw at least one about every half hour. I‘ve seen singletons before, but never 3!
It is always a good idea to keep your eyes open for leaky spigots here, and this morning there were multiple leakers. Given the overall dry, dry, dry conditions locally, these spigots attract a lot of birds and other wildlife. Almost every one had some activity. I spent the entire morning look for Red-breasted Sapsucker, but didn’t see one until I was in my car driving out—in a pepper tree, as expected. Jim Rowoth Stockton    -- Jim Rowoth Stockton, CA
