Cricket and I birded the Water District on Almaden Expressway yesterday. It was fairly quiet, but we did have several Yellow Warblers along the trail. There was an active group of 7 Scaly-breasted Munias moving along the creek but focused in the area by the dam. Not surprising, but new to us for the season were four White-crowned Sparrows below the dam. A single Green Heron flushed from the shore and was seen again near the island. At least one Belted Kingfisher, a male, was seen. We spotted possible second bird elsewhere, but couldn’t be sure it was a different individual. There was an out-of-town birding tour spending the last few hours at the site before heading home.
