Did a little hurried scouting on Thursday for the Calero-Morgan Hill CBC. Best find: 2 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS in a small sparrow flock at Edenvale Garden Park in south San Jose. One was an immature bird, the other a more contrasty looking adult. They were foraging in leaf litter under the shrubbery along the fence on the west side of the park, near the apartments. Also in this area there were a couple of FOX SPARROWS, 1-2 TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, at least 2 VARIED THRUSHES, and a possible "Yellow-shafted" Northern Flicker (saw yellowish flashes on a bird flying away from me). This park is always very birdy in winter, and I had limited time today, so it may hold other surprises. Below the spillway at Anderson Reservoir there were THOUSANDS of AMERICAN ROBINS and CEDAR WAXWINGS, an abundance of red toyon berries there creating a real spectacle. A COMMMON MOORHEN in the creek there seemed a little out of place. From the dam at Anderson I walked along the edge of the reservoir to the north (water level there is quite low). Saw a ROCK WREN along the shoreline. Only water birds I saw were 3 MUTE SWANS (?), 2 CHINESE (domestic) GEESE, 1 CANADA GOOSE, 2 COMMON MERGANSERS, EARED and WESTERN GREBES, also a few more waterfowl in the distance, but I didn't have my scope. Hope the weather will be as good or better on Saturday!
