Subject: [SBB] Red Knots again at mouth of Stevens Creek X-BeenThere: [[email protected]] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1b4+ Precedence: list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: South Bay Birding List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: south-bay-birds-bounces+south-bay-birds-archive=[[email protected]] Errors-To: south-bay-birds-bounces+south-bay-birds-archive=[[email protected]] This morning Pat Kenny and I went back out to the mouth of Stevens Creek and starting at 10:05 am we had at least 11 RED KNOTs. Just like on Sunday, they were at the waters edge west of the mouth of the creek. Several were still there when we left about 10:45. This was slightly past midway between high and low tides. On our way out there, we saw a male EURASIAN GREEN WING TEAL in the Stevens Creek channel about 100 yards north of the bridge that is near the Tidal Marsh. The bird had a bold, horizontal white stripe bordered below in black and no vertical white stripe at the shoulder; it was noticably larger than nearby male Green Wings of the usual sort; the line that outlines the upper edge of the green facial stripe was much more distinct than on normal Green Wings and it continued down across the face to the base of the bill. We couldn't refind the bird on our return. We had two SORAs and a VIRGINIA RAIL from the boardwalk across the south end of the Tidal Marsh and a GOLDEN EAGLE was flying and perched on the nearby towers. In the kite flying area we saw 3 BURROWING OWLs and 30 AMERICAN PIPITs. Roland Kenner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
