All, This morning (9/25) a WILLOW FLYCATCHER was working the bare tree tops south of the northern most entrance to Ulistac (half way between the two trails heading South). I actually saw the bird a couple hundred hundred feet down the eastern most of the two trails while looking west (for best light). Take care, Bob Reiling

This morning, 9/25/2017, I walked along the east side of Stevens Creek from Crittenden Lane to La Avenida. As expected, I saw far fewer birds than Mike Rogers reported on Saturday, but the area was fairly birdy. Highlights included 7 YELLOW WARBLERS, 1 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, 2 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, 2 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, 1 FOX SPARROW, 3 LINCOLN’S SPARROWS, 1 SAVANNAH SPARROW, 1 female LAZULI BUNTING, 2 WESTERN TANAGERS, 1 EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE, 1 DOWNY WOODPECKER, 1 COOPER’S HAWK. I did find the flock of HOUSE SPARROWs, but I was not able to find the interesting Spizella sparrow that Mike spotted among them on Saturday. Pat Kenny

The WILLOW FLYCATCHER was still hawking insects from a dead willow across from the spillway at the water district at 7:30 am this morning. Karen Burnson and I did a quick loop here and saw a WILSON'S WARBLER, 2 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, 21 YELLOW WARBLER and a BLACK THROATED GRAY WARBLER. A LINCOLN'S SPARROW was heard only. We met Dave and Floy Zittin and Ed Rooks at the VTA entrance to the Guadalupe River trail. Karen and I birded a short distance with them finding numerous YELLOW WARBLER, 2 ORANGE CROWNED WARBLER both gray headed birds, YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS, DOWNY WOODPECKER, GREEN HERON and a COMMON GALLINULE. I continued on to Almaden Lake and found numerous YELLOW RUMPED and YELLOW WARBLERS and a PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHER. https://www.flickr.com/photos/karensbirds/ Janna Pauser San Jose

Hi Birders, I birded at the Santa Clara Valley Water District Headquarters on Almaden Blvd. this morning. I got a quick look at a NASHVILLE WARBLER in the vicinity of the large juniper tree/bush on the far side of the pond and between the spillway and the closed-off dirt road that leads to Coleman Ave. It flew from the juniper into the low area of some ‘reeds’ that are a few feet into the Guadalupe River from the juniper. I suppose this could be the same bird that Janna saw yesterday at the fish ladder. There were many YELLOW WARBLERS - I stopped counting at 20. A SPOTTED SANDPIPER was standing on the spillway, and a CALIFORNIA THRASHER was skulking in the low bushes close to the district buildings. Good birding!

All, The Great Horned Owl returned to his roost today on the West side opposite station 5. I spent some time at Station 1 (the pond north of the garden) and it seems the migrants have really taken to this spot. There was a constant stream of migrants from 9:15 to 9:30 am, which coincided with increasing temps (and a drop off in migrants elsewhere). Yellow Warblers (15), Tanagers (4), Pac-slopes (2), House Wren (1), Fox Sparrow (2), and Crowned Sparrows (20) were some of the visitors to the pond. The proximity of the pond makes for some good close viewing, although in the early part of the morning the light angle (back lit) is not ideal.

On Saturday, from 4:50 pm to just past sunset, hiked in Almaden Quicksilver Park, encouraged by the warning sign about recent Mountain Lion sightings.

Today, Sunday 9/23, we took an all day walk today starting at the Monte Bello OSP. While listening for Virginia Rails (we heard at least two) at the sag ponds near the north end of the Canyon Trail at about 6:45 AM, we heard the very distinctive call of Sandhill Cranes. Looking overhead, we soon saw a flock of 24 Sandhill’s flying toward and directly over us more or less following Steven’s Creek Canyon. They disappeared from sight flying in a NW direction. The birds were unmistakable: a very distinctive growling and raucous call, huge size, long outstretched necks supporting rounded heads with long bills, grey underparts, dark-tipped primaries with contrasting lighter bases, and long outstretched legs. We also saw one and heard another Pileated Woodpecker and found two flocks of Wild Turkeys totally about 20 birds along the Peter’s Trail.

All, Yesterday morning 9/23/17, I spent 3.5 hours birding both sides of Stevens Creek from Highway 101 to the rusty bridge at Shoreline Park. Migrants were in good numbers and many late fall species have arrived. Between Highway 101 and Crittenden Lane I tallied 43 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, 24 LINCOLN'S SPARROWS, 7 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS, 2 SAVANNAH SPARROWS, and a FOX SPARROW. Between the lone eucalyptus and the last dead leafless tree south of Crittenden Lane I again found a SPIZELLA sparrow among a HOUSE SPARROW flock. This bird was dull with an eyering and was almost certainly another BREWER'S SPARROW, but disappeared into the edge vegetation after only a second of being visible. I got another brief look when the bird flew to the above-noted dead tree, but it flew further north never to be refound before I could definitively eliminate Clay-colored Sparrow as a possibility. Other first-of-season birds for me along this stretch of creek included a NORTHERN FLICKER, a SAY'S PHOEBE, and a very surprising PINE SISKIN (feeding with LESSER GOLDFINCHES just north of La Avenida). Other notable migrants included 13+ YELLOW WARBLERS, 3+ ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, 1 BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, 2 WESTERN TANAGERS, 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 1 MARSH WREN, and 1 HOUSE WREN. More ardeids than normal were foraging in the creek (mostly south of La Avenida), including 9 SNOWY EGRETS, 4 GREAT EGRETS, 2 GREAT BLUE HERONS, 2 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS, and 2 GREEN HERONS. A DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT was also foraging in the creek just south of La Avenida. Continuing oak woodland birds included 2 OAK TITMICE, 1-2 WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES, 1 SPOTTED TOWHEE, and 12 WILD TURKEYS (in the former Moffett housing complex area). In the stretch between Crittenden Lane and the rusty bridge at Shoreline Park I found 4 more YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 YELLOW-RUMPED (AUDUBON'S) WARBLERS, and another HOUSE WREN. The swallow flock up near the rusty bridge included 15 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS, 3 BARN SWALLOWS, 4+ WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS, and 2+ VAUX'S SWIFTS. This morning 9/24/17, I tallied at least 3 YELLOW and 3 TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS in my Sunnyvale neighborhood, so it seems like migrants are moving today as well.

All, Today I joined other iNaturalists in a Bioblitz at Overfelt Gardens. Despite the late 10 am start, we had some decent birding. Highlights included 1 Wilson's Snipe (FOY), 1 Willow Flycatcher, 1 Black-throated Gray Warbler, 1 Western Tanager, 1 Pac-slope Flycatcher, 2 Fox Sparrows (FOF), 1 Ruby-crowed Kinglet (FOF). Leslie Flint and Jennifer Rycenga also saw a warbler with white undertail coverts in the oaks near the parking lot (outside the park), and they were able to rule out the regular suspects so it was probably something more rare. Their thoughts were a possible Tennessee Warbler. Ebird: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39349503 Good Birding! Chris Johnson San Jose, CA

Folks: This morning, 9/21/17, I walked downstream along the Coyote Creek Trail from the southern access point off McCarthy Boulevard. Migrants included a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, four "WESTERN" FLYCATCHERS, 100+ VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS, a BARN SWALLOW, four YELLOW WARBLERS, and two HY male BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS. The Violet-green Swallows were on power lines in flocks of about 35 and 65 birds about 0.4 mi apart as I walked north. On my return an hour and a half later, I saw less than 10 total. As diurnal migrants, perhaps they roosted on the wires overnight and headed south once they had some food. And maybe another southbound group will show up in the late afternoon. Harbingers of the wintering sparrows included three LINCOLN'S and four WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS.

All: At 8:30 I hadn't seen Mike's posting but I did see the bird in a light-colored tree about 200 feet, or so, south of the orange cones. I did see the bird long enough to note the full eye-ring, the green head, the obvious wingbars, and no obvious sign of chestnut sides. I lost the bird when I attempted to take a picture, and had no further sightings of it before I left around 10:45. Frank Vanslager In a message dated 9/21/2017 9:36:56 A.M.

I was watching two adult Scaly breasted Munia in the cattails on the Guadalupe River trail north of Coleman when a SORA waded past followed by a COMMON GALLINULE. One WILSON'S WARBLER, two COMMON YELLOWTHROAT and nine YELLOW WARBLER were seen in the short distance before the spillway. I was about to turn onto Coleman when I spotted an adult BALD EAGLE flying in circles low over Almaden Lake. I stopped at TJ Martin Park on the way home and found four CHIPPING SPARROW together in a small leafless bush. This was at Serenity Way and Fleet Street. VAUX'S SWIFTS were flying to the north with some swallows. Two more CHSP and two YELLOW RUMPED WARBLER were found east of Burchell at Oakglen Way. At 5 pm I went to the west Los Capitancillos Ponds to watch the VAUX'S SWIFTS. Many VIOLET GREEN SWALLOWS were flying among the swifts tonight but I couldn't find a Purple Martin among them. There were hundreds of swifts as far as I could see by 5:30 but soon more flew in and they seemed to gather over the pond I was near. I watched in awe as the swifts circled above and below me dipping their bills into the water and sometimes dragging a wing along the surface. This action produced an unusual sound like rain drops. I would estimate 500 swifts tonight at 5:45 before they ascended higher in their normal feeding pattern. It may have been the weather but I've never witnessed this phenomenon in my many visits.

Highlights included five yellow warblers, 2 orange crowned warblers, my FOS white-crowned flock, a large (> 15) number of California Towhees, both Scrub-Jay and Steller’s Jay, and a Nuttall’s Woodpecker. And since it was still pretty grey and dim (in a nice way), a feeling maybe I should be upgrading my binoculars…

We went to view a long-time drama of an Osprey eating something large out on a salt ridge while being unsuccessfully intimidated by three Turkey Vultures and a Raven. Gena also IDd at least 6 species of gulls and about 20 Snowy Plovers. I then went to Sunnyvale Baylands where I was fortunately able to spot the bright-green head of a close Chestnut-sided Warbler while I was, essentially, still on my way to join the main group.

The BREWER'S SPARROW was visible for almost an hour this morning from around 8:35am onwards and several birders were present to see it feeding actively in the large fennel patch. At one point the Brewer's was foraging next to a couple of LINCOLN'S SPARROWS, which made for a nice size comparison. Things had quieted down in the fennel by 9:30am and most birders had left to see the Chestnut-sided Warbler at Sunnyvale Baylands. Over on A12, Frank Vanslager showed several of us an OSPREY that he had spotted sitting on a salt flat eating breakfast. Several vultures and ravens were in attendance, and eventually the Osprey had to fly to a different perch. I scanned the gull flock on A12 and saw one MEW GULL, one WESTERN GULL, 2 HERRING GULLS, 20+ RING-BILLED GULLS, and 300+ CALIFORNIA GULLS. At least 12 SNOWY PLOVERS were sitting on a salt flat. 5-6 VAUX'S SWIFTS were flying very low over the boardwalk area. Over at Gold and Elizabeth there were at least two LESSER YELLOWLEGS in with the Greaters, and Frank pointed out a single WILSON'S PHALAROPE.

I first saw the CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER this morning, 9/19/2017, at Sunnyvale Baylands Park around 8:30 am in the small trees just past the end of the cottonwoods on the Meadow Trail. I called over two other birders (Randy Sage and Bill Walker) and we all got pretty good looks at the bird. The bird had a bright green cap and back, a white eye-ring, whitish underparts, and yellow wing-bars. Later in the morning several other birders came out and they were able to see the bird as it moved around in the trees near the end of the cottonwoods and through the trees in the Indian Grass Circle and Meadowlands Picnic Areas. Other birds of interest today were 1 WESTERN TANAGER, 2 PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHERS, 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 WILSON’S WARBLER, 1 TOWNSEND’S WARBLER, 1 BROWN CREEPER. Pat Kenny

Folks,Yesterday we decided to bird the south county since it wasn't so hot as the previous weekends. We hit Chesbro & Uvas on our way to Gilroy and got the usual suspects. Instead of taking 101S we decided to use Watsonville Rd and that is where we came across Chitactac (yes, we said that word a lot before it rolled off the tongue) where there were a surprising number of birds. While scanning a mixed flock of CBCH, OATI and BUSH for warblers (we found a Townsend's) a bright red bird appeared over the creek. I managed some decent pictures of the Summer Tanager, given that it was fairly hidden in the branches.

I went to the Alviso Marina County Park late this morning, 18 Sep 2017.

All, The highlight of today's (9/17/17) Varied Twitchers Big Half Day was a BREWER'S SPARROW on the levee behind the old cannery building. If you park at the Alviso Marina, head west and then south towards Pond A8. The bird was foraging on the levee trail with HOUSE SPARROWS around 9am. Eventually it flew off into the old roofless cannery building courtyard, and then out the other side towards the marina. This Spizella was much smaller than the HOUSE SPARROWS, was very drab without the eyeline of a Chipping Sparrow (unmarked lores) and without the dark malar and lower edge of the auriculars of a Clay-colored Sparrow. A neat white eyering was also evident. The Alviso Marina fennel was good for migrants, with 3+ HOUSE WRENS, 1 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 5 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 WILSON'S WARBLERS, 1 ORANGE-CRWONED WARBLER, 6 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, and 8 LINCOLN'S SPARROWS. At least 8 VAUX'S SWIFTS were among the VIOLET-GREEN and BARN SWALLOWS. By contrast, Sunnyvale Baylands Park was virtually dead, with the only migrants found being 5 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS and a few VAUX'S SWIFTS. The nearby Sunnyvale WPCP turned up 6 YELLOW WARBLERS and a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER found by Pat Kenny. At least two ELEGANT TERNS were over Pond A8N, Pond A12 held at least 15 SNOWY PLOVERS, 3 LESSER YELLOWLEGS were at the north end of Gold Street, and another was in New Chicago Marsh. A lone WILSON'S PHALAROPE was also at the north end of Gold Street, with 60+ RED-NECKED PHALROPES further out. Arzino Ranch yielded 3 BURROWING OWLS, a SAY'S PHOEBE, and a GOLDEN EAGLE and a LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE dined atop the fence along Mallard Slough east of the EEC entrance road. We tallied four different PEREGRINE FALCONS throughout the day and a COOPER'S HAWK at Sunnyvale Baylands Park. After finding 2 COMMON GALLINULES in the Mountain View Forebay we had 98 species by 2:30pm. A quick trip to the Palo Alto Baylands added 7 WHIMBRELS and 1-2 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS giving us the desired 100 species for the day.

A new portion of the Thompson Creek trail along Capitol Exp. was open today. Karen Burnson and I did a loop from Tully Road to Quimby and back along the new trail. We had 2 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, 4 LINCOLN SPARROW, 1 SAVANNAH SPARROW, 6 juv. WHITE CROWNED SPARROW and many HOUSE and SONG SPARROWS. A PEREGRINE FALCON was perched on a Capitol Exp. tower and a COOPERS HAWK flew out from Lake Cunningham Park. We found a skittish female plumage LAZULI BUNTING and a WILLOW FLYCATCHER which posed nicely in the cattails. The willow had light undersides, buffy wing bars and a pale yellow wash on its belly. A VIRGINIA RAIL and SORA were found together in the cattails and swam into the open for good views. A PIED BILLED GREBE had three young on its back. See Karen's link to photos! We saw only 1 YELLOW WARBLER and 1 YELLOW RUMPED WARBLER. Eight GREAT TAILED GRACKLES were in the cattails and 3 GREEN HERON were seen. A single CASPIAN TERN flew along the creek and a BELTED KINGFISHER was heard. GADWALL'S had arrived but no other interesting ducks. The road around Lake Cunningham park was blocked for an event so we were unable to bird there. https://www.flickr.com/photos/karensbirds/ Janna Pauser San Jose

Hi Everyone, I may have spotted a Tennessee Warbler at the pond behind the SCVWD buildings on Almaden Expressway. At first I thought it may have been an Orange Crowned Warbler but I noted a distinct yellow supercilium. Unfortunately I didn't take any other field notes. This bird was observed between the larger pond and the river towards the south side of the pond near the large juniper.

I led my Palo Alto Adult School birding class to Sunnyvale Baylands Park this morning. It was an active morning with a number of highlights. Kirsten H’s SCVAS group was also present, as was Pat K. We first explored the double-row of cottonwoods and had 1 WILSON’S WARBLER, 1 TOWNSEND’S WARBLER, perhaps 6-7 YELLOW WARBLERS, 3-4 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS, 2 WARBLING and 1 CASSIN’S VIREO (near the playground at the end of the double row of cottonwood trees), our FOS SAY’S PHOEBE in the dried marsh. FORSTER’S and CASPIAN TERN as well as huge numbers of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT, 15 BROWN PELICANS and a GREAT BLUE HERON were seen in the distance. A PEREGRINE FALCON was also spotted by some participants. Over the playing field we had a number of VIOLET-TREEN, TREE, CLIFF and BARN SWALLOWS, as well as both VAUX’S and WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS. We briefly explored the Test Garden, finding another PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER and our FOS WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW. As we left an immature COOPER’S HAWK flew out of the trees along the road. At about 10:30 we caravanned to Don Edwards EEC and birded A-16 and the boardwalk over the marsh. The butterfly garden produced another PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, and a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK. In the reeds before the pond we spotted a female BLUE-WINGED TEAL, heard a SORA and several MARSH WRENS. The pond was filled with a number of new-for-the-day birds which included PIED-BILLED GREBE, AMERICAN COOT, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, WESTERN GULL, GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL, and RING-BILLED GULL. The board walk portion produced a few new Shorebirds including LEAST and WESTERN SANDPIPER, LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, BLACK-NECKED STILT, AMERICAN AVOCET and MARBLED GODWIT. Another PEREGRINE FALCON was seen during our drive into the area, but not seen by all. After lunch, we made a quick stop at Gold and Elizabeth (thanks to Bill B for his recommendation) where at least 6 LESSER YELLOWLEGS were seen in direct comparison with several GREATER YELLOWLEGS. We ended the official trip there, but our car made a 5-minute stop at the Alviso Marina to check the shores of the salt pond for any additional Shorebirds. None were seen there, but hundreds of CALIFORNIA GULLS were resting on the caked salt. We made a quick scan and found at least 2 HERRING GULLS present in the flock.

I checked along Burchell Ave. in TJ Martin park for birds this morning but all I saw were CANADA GEESE. The geese were first seen on the 14th when I stopped at dusk and saw hundreds of VAUX'S SWIFTS overhead. At first I thought I was seeing Purple Martins flying below the swifts but it was WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, a dozen of them hawking insects, a surprising sight. I parked near the Redwood Trees next and found a male TOWNSEND'S WARBLER. Nearby an adult LARK SPARROW was seen among some finch. I followed the call of a WHITE CROWNED SPARROW and found six juveniles in the native plant garden along Fleet Street. Three juvenile CHIPPING SPARROWS were together here partially hidden in the grass. I also saw two adult CHSP in a small tree. YELLOW WARBLERS were moving through a row of oak trees along the fence. Very birdy and in hindsight I should have stayed but had other stops to make. Almaden Lake was quiet so I left after seeing 2 WESTERN TANAGER, six YELLOW WARBLER and a WESTERN WOOD PEWEE. Next I checked the Holly-leaf cherry bushes on the Guadalupe River trail north of Coleman Road. It was loaded with YELLOW WARBLERS yesterday, one after the other flying in to feast on the ripe fruit, but today there were only a few. The adult and juv. CASPIAN TERN were still flying along the river and COMMON YELLOWTHROATS were calling. I didn't look for the basic plumage COMMON GALLINULE I saw yesterday and the OSPREY was not seen today. So no rarities here either but finally some birds! Janna Pauser Almaden Valley

Yesterday I participated in the Coyote Valley raptor chase put on by SFBBO and led by Ryan Phillips. There were about 12 of us for the outing, which ran from 9AM to about noon. We met at Coyote Valley OSP, then carpooled up to Laguna where we did a fairly extended watch Highlight birds included: 11 White Tailed Kites 1 Golden Eagle 1 Vaux’s Swift 1 Acorn Woodpecker 6 American Kestrels 1 Say’s Phoebe (FOS, newly arrived) 14 Yellow-billed Magpies 8 Violet-Green Swallows 8 Western Bluebirds (including some youngsters) 15 Tricolored Blackbirds in a mixed flock with some Red-Wings Second stop was along Coyote Creek near the golf course close to the entrance to the ponds. We hiked up the creek about half a mile and back. Highlights: 4 White-tailed kites, two adults, one with prey sitting in a tree, with a youngster flying and another younger sitting in a different tree refusing to come over and eat. 1 Eurasian Collared-Dove 1 Mourning Dove (which I tried to turn into a Eurasian much to Ryan’s amusement) 1 Downy Woodpecker 1 Hairy Woodpecker 2 Tree Swallows 2 Bewick’s Wrens Final stop was back at the OSP for some discussion before we broke up. There Ryan was finally able to drag a Prairie Falcon almost literally out of thin air for us (soaring high up about 1KM north of us). Also seen was another Golden Eagle and a Rock Wren. A good time was had by all, and I think if the Say’s Phoebes have arrived, we can declare it to be fall. (Also FYI: No Swainson’s; according to Ryan the nest failed in a storm and they dispersed a while back. Also a month early for Ferruginous)

All, I spotted the Great Horned Owl again today at Ulistac at it's roost in a small eucalyptus (see Ebird for photos). It was being constantly harassed by every bird in the area, especially the jays, warblers, and hummers. There's a few baby skunks running around in the area, so perhaps it'll stay a little while, though it should probably find a more hidden spot if it wants to get any sleep. Migrants seen included 30+ Yellow Warbler, 5 Wilson's Warbler, 3 Common Yellowthroat, 1 Orange-crowed Warbler, 6 Western Tanager, 1 Black-headed Grosbeak, 1 House Wren, 1 Western Wood-Pewee, and 3 Pac-slope Flycatcher. I also saw my first of fall White-crowed Sparrow. Honestly, I was hoping for more given the spectacular rarities being seen along the coast and in SF, but hopefully we'll turn up something around here soon. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39209908 Good Birding!

Date: 9/15/17 8:57 pm From: DEBRA SHEARWATER <debi...> [south-bay-birds] <south-bay-birds-noreply...> Subject: [SBB] Sensational Seabirding: Sep 15
Howdy, Birders, Shearwater Journeys’ pelagic trip departing from Half Moon Bay today turned out to be very surprising and quite sensational with multiple mixed species feeding frenzies. We began the day with some tough seas and weather although it was entirely doable. By spending a lot of time along the jetties in the harbor area, we tallied the following rocky shorebird species: BLACK OYSTERCATCHER, RUDDY and BLACK TURNSTONES, SURFBIRD, WANDERING TATTLER, SANDERLING, and WHIMBREL. We observed 10 banded BROWN PELICANS. Just outside of the harbor, we found a feeding flock of about 90,000 SOOTY SHEARWATERS, as if this might be the “best” flock of the day— not! A flock of 450 COMMON MURRE dads with chicks were actively calling back and forth. One MARBLED MURRELET and 3 HARBOR PORPOISE were along the beach zone. We made our way slowly offshore toward the edge of the Continental Shelf break, crossing a barren zone of “dirty” green water. One of the first sightings was of three storm-petrels sitting on the sea: 2 ASHY STORM-PETRELS and 1 WILSON’S STORM-PETREL. Shortly afterward, a FORK-TAILED STORM-PETREL flew into the wake. We encountered many small flocks of RHINOCEROS AUKLETS, but only one CASSIN’S AUKLET for the entire day! Four BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES and 5 NORTHERN FULMARS were around, too. In the distance, we could see complete pandemonium — thousands of PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATERS, many HUMPBACK WHALES, a herd of 175 PACIFIC WHITE-SIDED DOLPHINS with 2 NORTHERN RIGHT WHALE DOLPHINS in the mix. More humpbacks, and smaller flocks of BULLER’S SHEARWATERS were sitting on the sea. We estimated that at least 5000 Pink-footed Shearwaters were in view, some actively feeding and some sitting on the sea. Peter Pyle spotted a possible GREAT SHEARWATER in one such flock. I saw the Great Shearwater for a few seconds before it took flight with the flock. We would have preferred a much better view, but I’m certain (and not surprised) it was a Great Shearwater. To be honest, we simply had too many shearwaters to sift through. It was mind-boggling to be sure. I spotted another couple ASHY STORM-PETRELS and another FORK-TAILED STORM-PETREL was found. Two SOUTH POLAR SKUAS and POMARINE, PARASITIC and LONG-TAILED JAEGERS added to the mix. The only terns were COMMON/ARCTIC TERNS offshore. Heading for home, everyone relaxed and enjoyed the seas as it was laying down nicely. We thought we’d had a great day, but boy, were we in for a surprise! The best was yet to come— imagine the blows, tail flukes, backs and open mouths of some 46 more HUMPBACK WHALES, 500+ CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS, and 3275 more PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATERS gorging on anchovies! As many as 16 humpback blows were in the air at the same time. It was unnerving and sensational at all levels. The sea lions were driving the anchovies which we could see on the fish finder. The whales and shearwaters followed on the butts of the sea lions. For the first time in my life, I saw anchovy-green whale poo! We were surrounded by a biomass of marine life the likes of which few have ever witnessed. Finally, we carried on our way to the harbor, working on numbers for the checklists, and checking photos. So, we almost missed the TUFTED PUFFIN spotted by our first mate. Today, we recorded 7275 PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATERS which is the highest count I’ve had this season and in many years. About 250-300 BULLER’S SHEARWATERS were tallied, highest count for the season to date. We estimated some 76 HUMPBACK WHALES and over 1000 CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS were observed. To say it was a “great day” would be an understatement. Many, many thanks to the birders, both local and from far away, who joined us. Thanks to leaders Christian Schwarz and Peter Pyle and friends who helped out in many ways, Tom and Beth Hamel and Jim Chiropolos. We are heading out from Half Moon Bay again, tomorrow. A couple of spaces are available. We meet at 7 a.m. The marine forecast is for excellent seas and weather. We are hoping to spot more storm-petrels and murrelets tomorrow. It should be a good day for those species. And, we intend to catch an albacore! Living the Salt Life and SeaBirding for Science, Debi Shearwater DEBRA SHEARWATER Shearwater Journeys, Inc.

Folks, I made a quick, and rather silly visit to the Baylands today. Silly because I had completely forgotten that my binoculars and sunglasses were in the other car... so I was at a real disadvantage. Oh, well. No matter, I used that opportunity to bird for an hour without those luxuries, and practiced listening as I squinted in the brilliant noon sun. The fennel patch was filled with activity, including at least a dozen BUSHTITS, 6 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, and 8 YELLOW WARBLERS. Two BEWICK'S WRENS, 2 CALIFORNIA TOWHEE and a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD were also foraging among the tangled branches. Overhead, I heard LONG-BILLED and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, a SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, AMERICAN AVOCET and of course BARN SWALLOW. Just before I left, I spotted another bird for an instant that did not call, and did not show itself a second time. It struck me as an Empidonax. I've seen Willow Flycatcher and Pacific-slope at this spot many times, so possibly it was one of those two. I'll have to return with my binoculars... Matthew DodderMountain View

Birding was pretty slow this morning, 9/15/17, at Sunnyvale Baylands Park. Migrants seen included 3 YELLOW WARBLERS, 1 BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, 1 WARBLING VIREO, and 4+ WESTERN FLYCATCHERS. Chris Wolfe was also birding at the park and we went to the test garden to look for the WILLOW FLYCATCHER.

All, Several other birders (including Chris Johnson who found the bird yesterday) and I failed to re-find the Tennessee Warbler this Morning (9/13) at the "Old Seep" (birding station 2). There were lots of YELLOW WARBLERS and a surprising number of WILSON'S WARBLERS working the trees where the bird was seen and a flock of BUSHTITS even had a hard time moving on once they were in these trees. Other birds seen today included a GREAT-HORNED OWL (first seen flying in from the south to the Eucalyptus trees North of the "Old Seep" at 7:15 this morning, was later seen flying South only to return North some time later to the Eucalyptus trees), A WILLOW FLYCATCHER (just northwest of the northern most ramp leading to the river dike, thanks to Peter La Tourette), HOUSE WREN (same general area), BEWICK'S WREN, CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES and WESTERN TANAGERS.

A large group of birders showed up for today's Audubon field trip at Vasona Lake County Park. It was windy in Oak Meadow, our first stop, where we found birds in a protected area. Karen Burnson spotted a bunting, later determined to be a HY LAZULI BUNTING. (see link) A YELLOW WARBLER and BROWN CREEPER were seen before the lawn mower arrived. A perched PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHER, WESTERN TANAGER and another YEWA were near the bridge in Vasona. A GREEN HERON was perched on a snag. The relentless winds brought the outing to a conclusion back at the meadow which was now quiet. We all agreed it was great to be out birding again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/karensbirds Janna Pauser San Jose

Folks Billie and I walked in Arastradero Preserve this morning, 9/12/17. From a high point we could see a plume from the Skeggs Fire near Huddart Park, started last night by lightning. The fire had attracted a number of CDF aircraft, including a Huey that appeared to be taking on water at Felt Lake. Also two TVs above the plume, getting some early morning lift. An adult BALD EAGLE was soaring near the Arastradero/Felt Lake border. The only migrant was a WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE. A SAY'S PHOEBE was likely a returning bird, within a few days of their median arrival.

Nice photos. I'll go out on a hopefully sturdy limb: I can't recall any Blackpoll having such faint wingbars, they are generally quite prominent. First-fall Tennessee can have faint wingbars, which I think this bird shows. The fine pointed bill also looks good for Tennessee. Also, Blackpoll, as a long-distant migrant, has particularly long-looking primaries. The bit of yellow above the white undertail coverts (e.g., in Brooke's first photo) had me a bit confused, but Garrett and Dunn's Warbler book says that first fall can have variable yellow mixed with the basically white undertail coverts. I would expect to see at least a bit of dull back streaking on a Blackpoll (I'm not entirely certain for a young bird), and I think there would much white on the undertail, which the photos appear to show as dark. So I would agree with Steve and Brooke, pending some real experts joining in, of course. :) Al Eisner ------------------------------------ Posted by: Al Eisner <eisner...> ------------------------------------ South Bay Birds list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/south-bay-birds) ------------------------------------ Yahoo Groups Links <> To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/south-bay-birds/ <> Your email settings: Individual Email \| Traditional <> To change settings online go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/south-bay-birds/join (Yahoo!

Folks: Today, 9/11/17, I visited New Chicago Marsh and walked around Pond A16. The dabbling ducks are coming back for the winter. NORTHERN SHOVELER have been back for a few weeks and are now in four-digit numbers, I counted 1925 birds on the marsh, pond, and breached pond. NORTHERN PINTAIL (83) and GREEN-WINGED TEAL (14) are increasing. A count of 15 AM. WIGEON was the highest I've seen this fall. An eclipse male BLUE-WINGED TEAL and a female may be wintering birds or migrants. A single VAUX'S SWIFT was over the marsh. Fall often bring substantial aggregations of herons, when I first arrived this morning, I counted 176 SNOWY EGRETS in a single scan in New Chicago Marsh.

Just to add to Janna Pauser's post on the two juvenile Lazuli Buntings at the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), this morning around 10:30am, I also saw one juvenile LAZULI BUNTING in the willows near the pedestrian bridge at Almaden Lake - may possibly have been one of the same birds reported by Janna. Otherwise - very quiet at Almaden Lake this morning - I counted eight COMMON MERGANSGERS (all female-type and/or young) - also saw two YELLOW WARBLERS - the adult and juvenile Caspian Terns who have been here during most of the season were not seen today (at least by me).

This morning I did a quick loop around the Santa Clara Valley Water District perc pond. At 9:30 I heard a harsh buzzy call and found two probable HY LAZULI BUNTINGS in a Willow along the river. Both had wing bars and a buffy breast and flew off together. Five YELLOW WARBLERS were seen and several more heard only. There was also a nice assortment of egrets and herons. I am still watching VAUX'S SWIFT movement along the west Los Capitancillos Ponds. They arrive at 5:30 pm and continue for several hours. Last night I watched 30 enter a neighbors chimney by 7:40 pm.

Folks, At Ulistac, Eric Goodill and I were able to find a WILLOW FLYCATCHER (possibly 2) in the vicinity of Survey Area #3. There were quite a few YELLOW WARBLERS and WESTERN TANAGERS throughout the grove. A single WILSON’S WARBLER showed up near the seep (which is currently dry). No sight or sound of the Northern Waterthrush. At the Alviso EEC, we spotted at least 4 LESSER YELLOWLEGS and a PEREGRINE FALCON. Many Greater Yellowlegs around. There were also plenty of American Avocets, Black-necked Stilts and both Western and Least Sandpipers. A large kettle of AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS circled slowly over A16, which contains a growing number of Waterfowl. Basic-plumaged FORSTER’S TERNS were resting on the posts further out. Also, the CCFS Waterbird pond is temporarily OFF LIMITS to all birders, even those with SFBBO membership access. I do not know the reason for this or how long this will be the case, but for at least, birders are not permitted in the area. Birding Classes begin this week at the Palo Alto Adult School. Spaces are still available in both beginning (Larry Spivak) and advanced (Matthew Dodder) classes. Also of interest is Garth Harwood’s “Tracking for Beginners” Go to http://paadultschool.org/class/birding-nature/ <http://paadultschool.org/class/birding-nature/> for details.

We had our Los Gatos Birdwatcher morning bird walk in Alviso this morning. We met at the Alviso Marina on Hope Street. Not a long list of birds, but it was a great morning. There was a lot of salt build up in pond A12 and we found SNOWLY PLOVERS scattered about on the salt. At least 6 or more. While walking the board walk out to the ponds we heard VIRGINIA RAILS in the grasses. We also found both male and female COMMON YELLOWTHROATS in this area. Above us we had VAUX’S SWIFTS flying about making for a great study to compare them from the BARN, VIOLET GREEN and CLIFF SWALLOWS. More swift than swallows at times. On occasion a WHITE-THROATED SWIFT also flew through. Eight AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS also flew over. We found a small group of PHALAROPES at a distance. Maybe 15 in total in pond A16. We think they were Red-Necked Phalarope. NORTHERN SHOVELERS & MALLARDS were the only ducks for the day. Alviso was the original home to the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO). Their annual fundraiser, the "California Fall Challenge" is underway right now. Check your calendars and join a guided team or at least support those that are out trying to make a difference. Lots of opportunities for all who appreciate the birds.

I had a chance to get out for a bit and went to the EEC and walked the boardwalk through New Chicago Marsh to the salt pond and then back out via the Slough. Tide was high and conditions calm. Notable birds: A group of 7 female/immature cinnamon teals swimming together (the rest of the ducks seemed to be mallards, shovelers or mallard hybrids). 15 American white pelicans on the island. 1 winter plumaged (aka brown and boring) black-bellied plover on the 2nd island out, a single Greater Yellowlegs along the boardwalk. All the peeps were Westerns. All of the sparrows were Savannah, and some were incredibly bright and patterned. A quick stop along state and speckles gave me 7 Wilson’s Phalaropes and the usual suspects.

But when I returned about 1030 hr. to drive around those ponds, there were none. At least three female-plumaged BLUE-WINGED TEAL were a consolation.

Folks: This morning, 9/5/17, I walked out to the Stevens Creek mouth on a rising tide and then visited Pond A2E on my way back. At both sites and along the creek, VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS (183) and BARN SWALLOWS (48) were in the large numbers typical of their fall migration. I found one NOR. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW and a single juvenile CLIFF SWALLOW. A single VAUX'S SWIFT was also hunting insects. The Stevens Creek mouth was full of ducks and shorebirds. The biggest surprise for me were flocks of 19 and 7 BROWN PELICANS flying northwest, these are the only ones I've seen this year and quite late. A count of 575 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS was good this far down the Bay (counted by 5's). An estimate of 11,800 WESTERN SANDPIPERS (by 100's) was also good. I managed to pick out a single basic RED KNOT. Walking along the Bay Trail between Pond A2E and Crittenden Marsh I had 12 ELEGANT TERNS on the old catwalk supports. On Crittenden, I found three adult EARED GREBES on nests, an adult adding nest material to a nest that seemed to be disappearing, and an abandoned nest. Two other adults did not appear to be associated with any of these nests. I counted just shy of 500 AM. WHITE PELICANS in Pond A2E, most were loafing on the levees.

I birded with my brother, Steve, at the Coyote Creek Field Station in Alviso this morning, 4 Sep 2017. First off, we had a STILT SANDPIPER at the waterbird pond, probably a molting juvenile. This bird was in the company of many LESSER YELLOWLEGS - I counted 24 at the time of the observation, but Mike Rogers later counted 29. I had 4 GREATER YELLOWLEGS as well. In the riparian revegetation area near the banding trailer, I found my first-of-the-year WILLOW FLYCATCHER. We also had a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, 3 WILSON'S WARBLERS, 2 YELLOW WARBLERS, a HOUSE WREN, and 8 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS. The power lines next to the banding trailer were full of VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS - I counted 1300. Looking through them for rarities turned up a single CLIFF SWALLOW. Overhead, we had at least a dozen VAUX'S SWIFTS flying with the swallows. Bear in mind that access to this area is restricted, through the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory. Michael Mammoser

All: On 9/4/17 at 8 I wanted to do a quick tour of some of the Alviso spots that I frequent. On the boardwalk heading north from the Marina I did my usual quick pause at the small tidal stream -- where I usually see nothing. There was an immature Common Yellowthroat taking a bath in that thin trickle of water. But then I saw a Virginia Rail much closer, slowly moving around. I got out my camera to take a few hand-held pictures so that afterwards I could be sure that I wasn't being fooled by a "Clapper" with a small bill. Then as I went to quit, I saw another even-closer VIRA on the other side of the boardwalk! I usually don't have much luck with virginias, so this was special. Out at A12 I could see that the Snowy Plovers were still spread out on the salt ridges, but I made no effort to count them. From Spreckles Ave I did make an effort to count a large flock of Wilson's Phalaropes that landed relatively closely; but as I was passing sixty, another flock flew through my bino view and landed in the area that I'd already counted. So I quit. On the EEC entrance road I spent some time trying to convert an immature Lesser Yellowlegs into a Solitary Sandpiper. Frank Vanslager

Nothing special to report except for a black-throated gray warbler spotted by Roland. Wrentits were vocal and we saw at least two and heard more for a total of five. Total species count was 22 if you include an Indian peafowl. I suspect the birds were smarter than the birders and were quietly waiting for lower temperatures in the cooler, darker area of the forest. :-) Details at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38960247 -Dave Zittin, <dzittin...>

All: The new season of SCVAS bird trips went as officially advertised in the Avocet, with about the number of species you would expect. The only real rarity about the weekend's trips was: the number of birders that came out to brave the heat. There were a total of 5 people on Saturday, and 3 people on Sunday, September 3.

Howdy, Birders, Shearwater Journeys’ pelagic trip out of Half Moon Bay today was nothing short of spectacular with a great show of seabirds and marine mammals. It was so overwhelming that I hardly know where to begin. We did not see any ‘rare’ seabirds, only one out-of-season ANCIENT MURRELET in San Francisco County. We also found a few BLACK STORM-PETRELS with a handful of ASHY STORM-PETRELS (also San Francisco County). But the overall quality of the day was simply amazing. Just outside of the harbor, we encountered the mixed flocks of SOOTY SHEARWATERS and COMMON MURRES (many dads with chicks). The shearwaters have been feeding on schooling anchovies, but also on squid recently. Feeding on squid is probably what caused them to move a bit more offshore. But the thing that amazed me about these flocks was that the shearwaters were vocalizing! Like hundreds, if not a couple thousand Sooty Shearwaters sitting on the sea were vocalizing. Although I routinely hear PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATERS vocalizing, I cannot ever recall hearing sooty shears make the sounds I heard today. Our captain killed the engines and many folks on board made recordings and video. We headed out to the weather buoy but made many stops along the way. No boobies were on the buoy. Upon nearing the edge of the shelf we encountered sensational numbers of both HUMPBACK (63) and BLUE WHALES (26) and one FIN WHALE. Obviously, with there was an amazing amount of food available to feed 6500 tons of whales! Hundreds of CASSIN’S and RHINOCEROS AUKLETS were present. Flocks of ARCTIC TERNS and SABINE’S GULLS were sitting on the sea. RED and RED-NECKED PHALAROPES were feeding along the edges of the Lines of Convergence. We followed one skinny line that had a one degree SST difference from one side to the other. We left most of the Sooty Shearwaters back at the nearshore, and encountered BULLER’S and PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATERS along the shelf break. BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES were mostly spotted sitting on the sea due to a lack of wind, as were many of the NORTHERN FULMARS. Overall, jaeger numbers seemed very low, especially given the numbers of Sabine’s Gulls and terns present. However, we did encounter both PARASITIC and LONG-TAILED JAEGERS. It was non-stop birding along the shelf break. We also saw over 80 OCEAN SUNFISH, many of them dinner plate sized, but also a few very large individuals. One BLUE SHARK was spotted. Three NORTHERN FUR SEALS, one NORTHERN ELEPHANT SEAL, STELLER’S and CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS rounded out the pinnipeds for the day. Four HARBOR PORPOISE were spotted inshore. It was often difficult to know which direction to move the boat because we were surrounded by whales on all sides, their stinky breath wafting across the stern. We spotted chunks of bright orange-red whale poo, too! Many invertebrates were noted in the water column, including salps, pteropods, moon jellies, sea nettles and ctenophores. Somehow this just doesn’t really capture a day with nearly non-stop marine life action. It was like being on a maritime carousel and wanting to reach out for the gold ring. Sea conditions were excellent. Visibility was excellent. Tomorrow is expected to be the same. Spaces are available on our Half Moon Bay trip tomorrow. Please email me if you are interested.

Folks: This morning, 9/2/17, I visited sites in Palo Alto and Mountain View. Four WHIMBRELS were typical for the Palo Alto Estuary mouth. Perhaps half the time I look for shorebirds from the sailing station dock at the estuary mouth, I see or hear RIDGWAY'S RAILS. This morning at 0745 hr. (the gate generally is opened about 0730 hr.), I saw three bird along the Baylands edge, yakking and chasing each other in the morning light. Single birds were also calling from Hooks Isle and the Byxbee shore. A WILLOW FLYCATCHER was in the nearby bushes, my first of fall. A LESSER YELLOWLEGS was with Greaters in the marsh across from the nature center parking. Walking out to Charleston Slough, I saw two immature GREEN HERONS in the Mountain View Forebay and a third immature on the edge of Shoreline Lake. I saw two female-plumaged SURF SCOTERS continuing in Shoreline Lake. Charleston Slough had its normal complement of birds, 382 NORTHERN SHOVELERS there were my first triple-digit tally for the fall. The water level in Mountain View Forebay is the highest I've seen in a couple of months. The water is up to the cattails and there are ample hiding places for ducks. I watched a a group of teal actively feeding near the Bay Trail, about 11 birds. Seven appeared typical of a female/immature Cinnamon Teal, whereas four showed a whitish spot near the bill as with a female Blue-winged Teal. But juvenile birds can be difficult to distinguish between the two species. Although there was an eclipse male Cinnamon elsewhere in the pond, I had no certain adult for size comparison with the 11 birds. It seems likely that this was a single Cinnamon Teal hatch, already in juvenile plumage, and perhaps fledged (and independent) and what looked like two species was just a case of variation within juvenile Cinnamons. The Blue-winged Duck ducklilngs found in the forebay on 22 Aug should take a month to transition to juvenile plumage, it seems unlikely that they would have grown this much in less than two weeks. Also in the forebay was a SOLITARY SANDPIPER. It was foraging on the south side of the ponded area from the water's edge into the pickleweed.

Last night 8-30, at 6:30 pm. I entered the west Los Capitancillos Ponds at Meridian and immediately heard VAUX'S SWIFTS overhead. They continued to gather and feed until there were hundreds spread out in every direction, making it impossible to count. They continued overhead as I walked west with few remaining on my return at 7:30. One poor swift was dragging something attached to him but managed to keep up with the others. This spectacular sight should continue in the evening for several more weeks as the swifts migrate. Today 8-31, I birded the Guadalupe River trail north from Blossom Hill Road. I saw only 1 migrant warbler, a chipping YELLOW WARBLER before the perc pond at Chynoweth. On my return trip I noticed WHITE THROATED SWIFTS overhead and was surprise to get a count of 30 birds high in the sky. The PEREGRINE FALCON was on his perch on the north side of the freeway overpass.

I ran into Pete LaTourrette and, around 10:15, we saw a WILLOW FLYCATCHER in the trees along the southeast corner of the test garden.

All, Decent birdiness at Ulistac this morning, with 1 Western Wood Peewee (continuing, seen from Station 5 high atop dead snags on Western side), 4 Pac-slope Flycatchers (station 3, station 5, log chair on eastern side, NW side), 1 Hutton's Vireo, 1 White-breasted Nuthatch (continuing station 3), 1 House Wren (log chair), 1 OC Warbler (station 5), 1 Black-throated Gray Warbler (station 5), 2 Yellow Warbler (station 5), 2 Wilson's Warbler (log chair), 2 Common Yellowthroat (station 5, log chair), 5 Western Tanager (mostly station 5, but found in numerous spots), and 1 Black-headed Grosbeak (Station 5, continuing). Tanagers were also seen using the pond at Station 1 (the bridge on the north side of the garden). I did not see the Willow Flycatcher today, which I last saw on 8/29 at Station 5. I include a recording in Ebird of the California Thrasher making a call that sounds like a Western Tanager, but not as burry. Perhaps now that the Tanagers are using the garden more for the water at Station 1 the Thrasher has picked up on their calls, because I don't recall him making this call before. As I understand they are capable mimics. The House Wren was making alarm calls like the one below on Xeno Canto. House Wren make other more complex calls, but this one, reminiscent of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (squeaky) but completely monotone, is one I pick up on fairly quickly. http://www.xeno-canto.org/338152 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38922252 Good Birding!

Folks: I looked for migrants at Ulistac this morning, 8/30/17. Both Garrett Lau and Peter LaTourrette were in the field as well. Migrants included three RUFOUS-ALLEN'S female-plumaged birds together peacefully in the tree tobacco, a WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE, a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER (Garrett had a different bird), A WARBLING VIREO (Pete had one too), a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER (my first of the fall season), three basic WESTERN TANAGERS, and a female-plumaged BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK. A lingering female/immature HOODED ORIOLE was around. Early in the morning, a CASPIAN TERN was flying up river. About an hour and a half later, one flew down river carrying food. Pete said that Dennis Dowling turned on water for the little pond near the bridge on the south side about 3 days ago. There is also a wet area on the east trail, near where the bee or wasp nest was a while ago. Both areas seemed popular.

All: At 8:15 on 8/30/17 I was at the Alviso Marina. Looking north from the Info sign into the dry A12 pond I was thinking that those salt ridges really did look wintry. Then, with binos I saw, appropriately, a number of Snowy Plovers sleeping on the first ridge out. I used the Questar to scan to the left along the first two ridges. When I finally got tired of it and quit, I had definitely seen 66 resting Snowy Plovers; the birds were all spaced out along that ridge, as if trying to get a quiet sleep after a tough migration. I took a few photos, just for memory, and picked up the scope to head east along the shore. I then saw with the binos that there were at least a dozen more birds that I hadn't counted. (And I did not scan any of the further-out ridges.) From Spreckles Ave, the western edge of New Chicago Marsh had the usual shorebird suspects. But it was getting hot, so I quit. Frank Vanslager

Folks: This morning, 8/29/17, Billie and I walked a loop on the Mayfair Ranch and Longwall Canyon trails in Rancho Canada del Oro. I did not expect to see any fall migrants in the dry oak woodlands of the park, so I was surprised when a HERMIT WARBLER flew into an oak along the switchbacks on the Mayfair Ranch Trail. Based on 37+ years of records, most Hermit Warblers are seen on their spring migration from about 20 Apr to 13 May, with more birds seen in the Diablo Range than in the Santa Cruz Mountains. A few birds nest along the Santa Cruz Mountain crest, from 26 May to 14 Aug. On average, about 0.3 birds are sighted per month (the rate is 20 birds sighted per month during the spring passage). Over the rest of the year about 0.6 birds are sighted in any month and there is no obvious fall passage. If you follow the listserv in the East Bay, then you will know that Hermit Warblers are a regular fall passage bird in the fog-affected hills east of the Bay. Based on our county records they don't show up in the South Bay in the fall, so their fall migration in central California is a bit of a puzzle.

Folks, There are still a few seats available for our Birding by Impression class. This is a fun way to bird, where we use our instincts to identify birds instead of just the field marks. Birding by Impression Fall Semester 2017 with Bill Pelletier Advanced birding techniques, starting 9/7/17 in Santa Clara on Thursday nights. In this class we will be birding by more subtle aspects such as behavior, flight pattern, feeding habits, nesting/breeding style, shape/silhouette of the bird, habitat and overall impression. We call it thin-slicing, named after Malcom Gladwell�s term in the book �Blink�. The objective is to get an overall feeling for the bird and to use advanced techniques and technology to aid in our birding. Some of the resources we will use are Sibley�s �Bird Behavior� and Ken Karlson's �Birding by Impression�, along with a host of other resources. Classes are held Thursday evenings at 7pm in the classroom and are augmented by a weekend field trip, typically Saturdays at 8am. This course starts September 7, 2017 and will run seven weeks.

This morning while outside enjoying a cup of (shade crown, bird friendly) coffee, I noticed a dark bird circling high above with one gull. Gulls circling overhead are a common sight in the morning, but the two together were quite a contract and the darker bird meant I had to grab my binoculars. As I had hoped, it was an adult SWAINSON’S HAWK. Even before the optics the bird looked as if its wings were longer and more tapered than the more commonly seen Red-tail Hawk. It had the light underwing coverts and the dark flight feathers; the easiest of the Swainson’s Hawk plumages to help with the ID. It circled a bit more and then hit the air current which shot it on a fast, direct flight toward the bay and Alviso! Time was 10:45 AM. Hope someone else sees it too.

I arrived too late for most migrants but found the WILLOW FLYCATCHER I reported on 8-20. It was interacting with another WIFL just north of the first sighting. Both birds were in the cocklebur weeds at the upper end of Almaden Reservoir on Alamitos Road, approximately .2 miles from Hicks Road. One BLACK THROATED GRAY WARBLER, a YELLOW WARBLER and a PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHER were seen south of Hicks Rd. A CASSIN'S VIREO was heard in the willows at the intersection. A few well hidden WOOD DUCKS were perched on low branches over the water. A pair of AM. COOTS were caring for six fuzzy young. Twin Creeks has been extremely quiet this spring/summer with few breeding birds found. A pair of COMMON RAVENS was often heard in the area and today two begging young were perched together near the O'Day property.

Hi Birders, I had my first-of-season WILLOW FLYCATCHER this morning at Ulistac. I also had at least 16 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 WILSON’S WARBLERS, 2 BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS, an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, at least 8 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS, 4 WESTERN TANAGERS, and a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK. I started there about 7:45 and it was almost completely quiet by 8:45 or so. Afterwards, over at the entrance road to Don Edwards NWR in Alviso, I was lucky enough to see the 14 or so WHITE-FACED IBIS, altogether, in New Chicago Marsh. Thirty-or-so WILSON’S PHALAROPES were in the pond between Grand and Spreckels. Good birding!

This morning, August 26, I saw a Pileated Woodpecker at Rancho San Antonio, along the High Meadow Trail. I have a photo and sound recording on my eBird checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38832919 A hiker told me about it yesterday evening, shortly after he saw it, so I looked for it then, but I did not find it yesterday.

Folks: This morning, 8/26/17, I birded the Matadero riparian below Hwy 101. The only migrant I saw was a single YELLOW WARBLER. A surprise was an adult GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW. Based on 36 years of fall arrival data, the median arrival date is 19 Sep, so today's bird is about 24 days early (and more than 3 standard deviations). This bird might be an outlier (as was one on 8/23/89). These two records are the only ones I know of for August. There is one record for July and three for June.

All, Brooke Miller was kind enough to get me on a Willow Flycatcher at Ulistac this morning (first of the year). I noted at least 1 House Wren and an increase in Yellow Warbler numbers (20+). Most of the same migrants from yesterday also continued, with the addition of 1 Wilson's Warbler and 1 OC Warbler (Brooke).

After Frank told me about those ibIs, I went to take a look at them and saw 14 - one adult that was clearly a White-faced and 13 juveniles that were likely White-faced, though none had pink in the face or red eyes yet to distinguish them from juvenile Glossy IbIs. A juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper was along the west side of the Environmental Education Center entrance road, south of the railroad tracks, with 200+ Western and Least Sandpipers. Among 900 or so dowitchers at the west end of Spreckles Avenue were about 10 calling Short-billeds, including two juveniles, though the vast majority of calling birds were Long-billeds, as is typically the case in New Chicago Marsh.
