The west side of Almaden Lake was very birdy just north of the
pedestrian bridge. A Willow Flycatcher was vocalizing softly and
flitting around with another possible WIFL. Yellow Warbler, six in all,
were here and before the stand of eucs at the south entrance. I heard
Scaly breasted Munia and found five Western Tanager in the same area
between the bridge and the south gate. Northern Flicker and Western
Bluebirds were heard. It was birdy for only an hour after I arrived at 8:30.

I didn’t see any warblers at Carter’s spot, but there are a few on the
island by the red bridge, including one that might be a
Blackpoll/Bay-breasted Warbler. I only got a brief look, so I am waiting
for it to come back out.

This morning I birded the Guadalupe River trail north from Blossom Hill Road. I found my target bird, a Willow Flycatcher, before the first bench. It was giving continuous soft calls and moving around quite a bit, finally to the far side of the river. Also here was a Wilson's Warbler and my first two of four Yellow Warblers. Hairy, Nuttall's and Hooded Oriole were heard only. I saw four Western Tanagers, all female before the Chynoweth pond where I turned back. Scaly breasted Munia were heard in several locations along the trail. Interestingly only two House Sparrows were seen today, way down from previous years.
Last night before sunset, I birded west from Meridian along west Los Capitancillos Ponds to count Vaux's Swifts. Approximately eighty swifts were seen near the forth pond with more to the south. I will check tonight from Oak Canyon. This may be one of the last times high numbers of swifts can be seen here, as it can end abruptly about this time of year.

This morning around 11:30 I saw a bird which I thought was a good candidate for Blackpoll Warbler high in the eucs here (37.2410841, -121.9715117), but I wasn’t confident enough to post it. However, after reviewing my photos and getting some expert feedback it seems like there’s a good chance the bird is either a Blackpoll or Bay-breasted Warbler

Good afternoon, South Bay Birders, On a very nice Wednesday lunch hour Dan Bloch and I met 12 eager birders of various experience lengths (from 15 minutes to 25 years) at the Sunnyvale Bay Trail on Caribbean Avenue. One birder had just arrived from Ohio so we helped her create an eBird account! Bingo! As we started we were hoping for a Yellow-headed Blackbird, but there was too much of badly needed construction on the deeply rutted trail. Not to be deterred, we checked out the Moffet Channel leading to A4 pond. Twenty-three species were seen with very good views of Green Herons, Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, and only one Black-crowned Night Heron. In the eucalyptus tree that is the usual hang out for American Crows, an adult Cooper's Hawk was seen ducking for cover, but still making small aggressive motions toward the mobbing American Crows. Later the Cooper's Hawk posed, sans crows, very nicely on a pole so we could further discuss identifying characteristics. Out at A4 pond, a small flock of stunning American White Pelicans lunched right in front of us. Preening Double-crested Cormorants along with basking Black-necked Stilts and snoozing Greater Yellowlegs lined up on the long offshore island with California Gulls and Pied-billed Grebes hanging out in the water with a couple of Forster's Terns flying by. A special note were the several Common Yellowthroats, male and female, bouncing among the tules near one of the adult Green Herons.

Thank you for being a member of South Bay Birds [SBB]. This is our monthly reminder sent to the list with information about the group.
South Bay Birds [SBB] is a list intended for reporting the interesting birds you find in Santa Clara county, in order to help your fellow birders see them as well. We encourage everyone to share where they bird and what they see. Please include the general location (e.g., an eBird hotspot) and, if appropriate, the bird(s) of interest in the subject line, with any additional detail needed in the message body. If you use eBird, we encourage you to include a link to the eBird trip report that you filed.
This list is maintained by the Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance ( scvbirdalliance.org) ( https://scvbirdalliance.org ). Their volunteers and funding keep the list running so please consider joining or donating to them. SBB's Lead Admin is Jim Dehnert. Chuq Von Rospach, Brooke Miller, Matthew Dodder and Barry Langdon-Lassagne assist Jim. You can contact the administration team with your questions and concerns at southbaybirds+<owner...>
The home site for this list is https://scvbirdalliance.org/siliconvalleybirding and you can find out more about us there. To start sending messages to members of this group, send email to <southbaybirds...>
The birds we watch should be our primary concern. As birders we need to be sensitive to their needs and not do things that put the birds or their habitat at risk.
We believe all birders should act as ethical birders. Your personal year list or that special photograph could put the bird at risk or cause its nest to fail. Because we expect all birders to act ethically around the birds that bring them joy, we expect that of the birders who are on our list as well. We have written up some ideas of what it means to be an ethical birder, and list links to other resources on ethical birding as well. Please read them and act to put the bird’s needs ahead of your own. If we find out that members of the list are putting birds or their habitat at risk, those members may lose access to the mailing list and its resources.
We also believe that members of the list should treat each other properly. If a list member is found to be attacking or harassing other list members, or engaging in activities that violate the ethical birding code it may affect their future ability to contribute to or subscribe to our lists.
*Acceptable Content*
The primary content for SBB is reports of interesting birds you saw and where you saw them ( https://groups.io/g/southbaybirds/message/24065 ). The objective ( https://groups.io/g/southbaybirds/message/25078 ) is to help other birders interested in the birds you saw to find them themselves. Please include the general location (e.g., an eBird hotspot) and, if appropriate, the bird(s) of interest in the subject line, with any additional detail needed in the message body. Please report only Santa Clara County locations -- other counties have their own mailing lists for trip reports.
Occasionally the administrator will post an Advocacy digest -- no more than once a week, and more typically much less often. This digest contains topics that are not typically posted to the list but we feel are of interest to the readers of SBB and are important enough to warrant posting to the wider audience. These messages will be tagged with the word "Advocacy" in the subject so members who aren't interested can delete or filter them if they choose. Topics posted as Advocacy messages typically include updates on important Advocacy activities by Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance (SCVBA) and SCVBA volunteer activities.
*Unacceptable Content*
Do not disclose information that identifies the location of nesting birds of any species, to minimize stress on the nesting birds and the risk of vandalism or abuse.
We discourage general discussion and questions on South Bay Birds, for that we've created a Facebook group (see below). If you wish to propose a general-purpose announcement for an Advocacy digest post, please send the proposed text to the administrator (below).
Please do not post notices of upcoming events to SBB. There is a sister list, South Bay Birds (Events) [SBB-Events], that should be used for that purpose. If you are interested in knowing what events are being offered by SCVBA and other county bird-oriented organizations, we encourage you to subscribe to this list (see below). This includes our monthly notice of signups for the next month's SCVBA *field trips* , and periodic notices of openings in impending trips.
Please do not post carpooling requests for events to SBB. We request that they go to the Facebook discussion group.
*Unsubscribing from South Bay Birds*
If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list, an unsubscribe link is at the bottom of every message, or you can go to https://groups.io/g/southbaybirds/. That's also where you can view the list archives, set up a vacation hold, change your email address, or modify your subscription in any way.
South Bay Birds and Birdwatching in Silicon Valley are affiliated with the Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance ( scvbirdalliance.org ( https://scvbirdalliance.org ) ), which offers classes and outings around the county, so if you're interested in learning more about birding in the county or joining other birders in going out birding, they can help you find an outing that matches your interests.

I heard frantic baby bird calls behind Valley Water headquarters as a
Cal.Scrub Jay flew off with a Scaly-breasted Munia nestling. The adults
were perched nearby and did nothing as the nest irrupted in calls.
Several more Munia pair were seen or heard along the east side of the
property.
It was sprinkling this morning, but instead of bringing in more birds it
was extremely quiet around the nearly deserted pond. On the east side, I
found a vocal House Wren. It could be the same bird I saw and
photographed yesterday on the Guadalupe River trail. photo attached Sora
and Virginia Rail were heard in the river channel. I came across a tree
that was felled by a Beaver. see photo. I have yet to see the Beaver
that has been around for years.
A family of seven Pied billed Grebes were in the south corner of the
pond. Several tiny young clung to its mothers back as the male brought
food.
Later I birded at TJ Martin, hoping to see the Chipping Sparrow I'd seen
a few days earlier in the company of a Savannah Sparrow. I found just
one CHSP in the same area and wandered around the freshly cut grass.
Western Bluebirds, were everywhere. I counted fifty five on my last
visit. Lots of Dark eyed Juncos and numerous House Finch scattered as I
approached. I counted nine Vaux's Swifts flying over the Redwood Grove
at the west end of the park.
Recent visitors to our backyard fountain include a family of bluebirds,
Western Tanager and f. Black-headed Grosbeak. Great Horned Owls have
been calling from our neighbors pines most evenings.

Today at my high school, I saw a sparrow that seemed like a Savannah Sparrow on the large grass field typically used for various sports (I like to bird there early before school, LOL). It had a dark crown, dark eye stripe, dark striping on back, wings, and upper breast, light breast, pink legs, and a light colored beak. However, it seemed like a very strange location to see a Savannah Sparrow. Are there any other sparrows it’s more likely to have been? I’ve attached some very low-quality iPhone photos, but they probably won’t be of much help honestly LOL. Thanks in advance!

This morning thirteen birders started on the trail bright and early at Picchetti Ranch OSP. In the August heat our expectations were low, but the Zinfandel Trail did not disappoint today!
The highlight of the trip was a NORTHERN PYGMY OWL. We watched a flock of birds fly across the trail towards a tree. Many of them were small but there was a larger bird in the flock. The small birds were quickly identified as Anna’s Hummingbirds, which were mobbing the larger bird perched in the tree, a Northern Pygmy Owl. The owl continued to be harassed by the hummingbirds for several minutes, then dove into the brush next to the trail. After a moment it flew back across the trail, landed in a tree, and looked like it went to sleep. It was still visible when we left.
Other birds of note were BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, WESTERN FLYCATCHER, HUTTON’S VIREO, and a very visible pair of WRENTIT by the ephemeral pond. Additional raptors included PEREGRINE FALCON, RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, RED-TAILED HAWK, and TURKEY VULTURE.

I wasn't expecting to get many breeding confirmations for the California Bird Atlas on 19 Aug and was pleasantly surprised to see American Goldfinches feeding young and a bedraggled Ash-throated Flycatcher feeding its sharp-looking fledgling along the section of Coyote Creek trail near Ogier Ponds. With the Goldfinches, I didn't see anything in the adult's bill, which fits with their method of feeding. As the Birds of the World account notes, "All food is provided in form of a sticky, semi-solid mass primarily of seeds, regurgitated by parents . . ."
Looking at the Atlas results so far, I can see there are many fun adventures awaiting. We have confirmations for Bullock's Oriole in Santa Clara county (and not San Mateo county). We don't have any observations of Carrying Nesting material or Nest Building, and it would be so fun to see a nest being weaved. It would also be great to have those observations with dates, to see if the timing of nesting is shifting relative to previous atlas efforts.
Another awesome opportunity is getting out at night to listen for Marbled Murrelets in San Mateo or Santa Cruz county parks. It wasn't until late July that reports came in from two blocks, and Murrelets should be present in many more.

Hello everyone,
This morning, an excited group of birders set out to explore the edges of Lake Almaden. The egret rookery still had some stragglers, with a few Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Black-crowned Night Herons, and 4 Great Blue Herons hanging out in or near nests. There weren't any active nests this late in the season, but there were still young begging, being fed, and chasing their parents around. On the island was also a cute little family of Caspian Terns with two adults and a juvenile. The young Forester's Tern was begging loudly for food and could be heard across the entire park.
The biggest highlight of the trip for me was watching the Scaly-breasted Munia ferry long strands of grass from the lake's edge to its nest. I also greatly enjoyed the flurry of bird activity we had as we peered over the Los Alamitos Creek bridge, which included sightings of both a male and female Black-chinned Hummingbird. We also got great looks at a Belted Kingfisher that had been seen briefly flying around the lake. As we wrapped up our trip, we spotted an American Kestrel hunting high on the hills across the road before it was chased off by a gang of Acorn Woodpeckers. Overall, we saw and heard 37 species this morning. Here is a public link to the checklist. ( https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/checklist/S384162209 )

This morning I found a birdy area in Vasona near a bench on the east
side of the creek. These birds were apparently mobbing something and
were very active. I had 7 Hooded Orioles, most females, bushtits, a
Wilson's Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Chickadees and Songs Sparrows.
Eventually a Red-shouldered Hawk revealed itself and the show was over.
I had returned to Vasona to photograph what I believe to be a Wood Rat
nest at an unusual height. The 3' nest was 20' up in a willow thicket on
the west side of the creek, south of the pedestrian bridge. There was
another Wood Rat nest at the base of the same tree. photos attached.
