Your photo and directions helped me identify the exact tree, and after several visits at various times of day, I saw three kites on Sunday afternoon. I was with my four year old son who - having made several visits already - was somewhat less impressed to see them than I. Anyhow thanks from a novice birder.J T Storeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867585479362487067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33870372.post-90136776512667897902009-12-27T10:34:28.139+08:002009-12-27T10:34:28.139+08:00@J.T.

Park on Rockview and walk down the sidewalk on the left of Hillgate. Best time is in the morning. You can also contact the Park Ranger, Shelly, and she would be glad to show you the way. Contact her at shelly.meneely@ocparks.com.<br />Enjoy!Bob Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555012226282244222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33870372.post-73512117630068934502009-12-26T08:55:10.297+08:002009-12-26T08:55:10.297+08:00Bob - Is there any way you could describe the loca...Bob - Is there any way you could describe the location of the tree within the wilder side of Mason? I live adjacent to this park (I'm not a birder, but interest is growing) and would love to have a look at these kites. Also if you might recommend an ideal time of day. Enjoyed your blog. Best, J.T.

Beautiful shots of the Bar-tailed Godwit (that would be a lifer for me) and the Lewis's Woodpecker and I love the shot of the juvenile White-tailed Kite with the wings spread.
