In the aftermath we encountered rolling clouds bringing in more rain, muddy trails, downed trees, impassable roads, and windy conditions on the hilltops. As a result our count was down from previous years with an unofficial total of 159-160 species pending final results and reports. Total passerine count was low and we missed some birds normally seen on the count (no Bald Eagle at Calaveras, and no Lesser Black-backed Gull at Lake Cunningham this year). None-the-less we picked up some birds which we don't always find every year - namely AMERICAN BITTERN, SURF SCOTER, and REDHEAD in the Alviso sector, and GREATER ROADRUNNER and N. PYGMY-OWL in the Alum Rock sector. Here are other highlights: SNOW GOOSE: found in the Alviso sector - waiting on final report & numbers RED-TAILED (HARLAN'S) HAWK: back for its sixth winter at Guadalupe River near Montague Expwy TREE SWALLOW, VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW, and BARN SWALLOW: all reported from Lake Cunningham YELLOW WARBLER: reported from Lake Cunningham BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER: two reported - one at Santa Clara's Central Park and one a Crossman Ave in Sunnyvale by Lockheed / Hyperion Networks FOX SPARROW (RED/EASTERN): found along the west side of Guadalupe River north of Trimble Road WHITE-THROATED SPARROW: three were noted - one at Guadalupe River near Trimble, one at Ulistac Natural Area in Santa Clara, and one in the southern portion of the San Jose Urban sector. Many thanks to all participants who came out on this soggy yet successful count day. Ann _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
