The only non-resident birds I found were two Pacific-Slope Flycatchers and one Western Tanager; a flock of 13 or 14 Robins may have also represented dispersal (I think local breeders were in smaller numbers). From there I went to the EEC. Ann Verdi had already checked the salt pond, so I mainly checked for landbirds: quite a few Common Yellowthroats, including a fledgeling being fed, but nothing unusual. Finally, the pond at State and Spreckels (with Ann) had at least 40 Greater Yellowlegs and 1 Lesser (but no Dowitchers, and no Ruff - one was reported on Birdbox from there on Sunday). A mid-afternoon visit to Crittenden Marsh turned up the two juvenlie Baird's Sandpipers already mentioned by John Meyer. The salt pond to the north had one Brown Pelican, and a couple of the Least Terns, rather cooper- atively, were flying (feeding) near the west end. On Sunday (August 11), on a mid-afternoon visit to the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant ponds, I estimated about 1500 Red-Necked Phalaropes (I could easily have been off by a couple of hundred); I spotted one or two still close to alternate plumage, and there were a number of juveniles. A single adult Bonaparte's Gull was swimming with them. A roving flock of about 40 Brown-Headed Cowbirds seemed typical of this location in late summer. I looked over the small shorebirds at the northeast corner of the larger pond, but many were too distant to do much with. At one point I spotted a pale bird (possible Snowy Plover???), but that part of the flock took off and redistributed before I could focus on it. On the walk back, I found that the few dozen Forster's Terns on the west levee between the ponds (near the bend) had been joined by a basic-plumaged Common Tern. I watched this bird on the ground for about 5 minutes (around 4:15 PM), but it flew while I was scoping, and I didn't see where it had gone, nor did I refind it.

Alviso, Sat Aug 10: EEC: Two AMERICAN PIPITS seen along the muddy shoreline of Pond A16 behind the Visitor's Center. One pipit appeared a bit larger than the other. The larger bird had heavy streaking throughout its front side from the throat area to the belly; some streaking on the back, and two wing bars (possible japonicus??). The smaller pipit had less extensive streaking on the front side, only as far as the breast area - not extending beyond. Both pipits had pink legs. Also on A16 two BLACK SKIMMERS were seen roosting, but the phalaropes which had been so numerous here over the past couple of weeks had departed. State & Spreckles: Al Eisner and I saw a LESSER YELLOWLEGS in with a group of approximately 40 Greater Yellowlegs. "Patch" birding, Sun, Aug 11: SCVWD Ponds (Almaden Expwy & Coleman Rd): A MARSH WREN was seen in the cattails in the Guadalupe Channel (I hadn't seen that species in this locale for a long time). Three adult male NUTMEG MANNKINS were in the cattails in the smaller pond to the north behind the new SCV Water District office. Incidentally, the native plants recently planted around the main pond and other areas along the Guadalupe appear to be flourishing. Newly planted trees around the pond include cottonwood, willow, sycamore, with understory plants such as elderberry, currant, toyon, native blackberry, etc. As these plants mature they should be providing good habitat for birds. Almaden Reservoir/Alamitos Rd: Three WOOD DUCKS seen in the upper end of the reservoir as well as two GREEN HERONS. Birds of interest upstream by the O'Day property on Alamitos Rd included W. WOOD-PEWEE, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK (juv), BULLOCK'S ORIOLE (juv), adult male YELLOW WARBLER, one lone WILD TURKEY, over 30 CALIF QUAIL (many young), and many LESSER GOLDFINCH (no Lawrence's Goldfinch in the mix this time).

They will forage widely from where they nest and also disperse widely. They are occasionallly on the valley floor in the summer and can be found almost anywhere in the winter. David Suddjian and I have had long discussions about their historical status, and it appears that their population has expanded in Central California in the last 50 to 100 years, but there are few obvious reasons.

Although I got caught up in all the concert traffic and ended up parking in the middle of all that mess, I managed to get to the "marsh" at around 6:15 (unfortunately without a scope) and was surprised to find at least 1000 shorebirds loafing on the dried up ground. Most were Least and Western Sandpipers but there were also quite a few Semipalmated Plovers (200). I watched one plover fly in and it landed right next to a Baird's Sandpiper. I lost sight of it quickly when many of the shorebirds got up. However, I saw one more as it flew over me and called on its way to feeding grounds exposed by the receding tide. Also present were about 20 Long-billed Curlews as well as a handful of Whimbrel. Yesterday's high tide was at 4 pm so I would think that optimal viewing conditions this evening will be from about 3:00 when shorebirds will be arriving until about 7:30 when the last ones will be leaving to return to their mud dining rooms. Since I had no scope with me, I couldn't tell if other species were present but it wouldn't surprise me if other goodies are spending high tide time out there.

A Red Knot was found on 7/27 in the Palo Alto estuary (one of the best places for it in the county). The first juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper of the season was at the CCFS waterbird pond the same day. Our only remaining "2", Red-necked Phalarope finally started moving through on 7/5, when five were found on Salt Pond A16 (They are now in the thousands at the Sunnyvale WPCP ponds). As expected, Least Terns showed up on 7/6 at Salt Pond A2E (and are still there). At least three Canyon Wrens were found along Coyote Creek on 7/4 during a day hike. A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was a one-day wonder at Stevens Creek CP on 7/7. The only "4s" left are: Red-throated Loon, Black Rail, and Pectoral Sandpiper. The latter is the most likely, in late September. The rest of the year will be exciting.
