It appeared to be a single Vaux's Swift in the company of many Cliff Swallows and a few White Throated Swifts. The Vaux's circled the ponds on the corner crossing the street to the ponds behind Effies Restaurant. It flew over my head repeatedly as it hunted for food in this low flying circle. I was in the company of a Black Crowned Night Heron and a Green Heron both of which never moved a muscle.

At about 9:00 am I saw the male and female BLUE GROSBEAK at the edges of the overflow channel upstream from the trailers. The male was very attentive to the female and attempted copulation at one point. This area is where the levee jogs to the left as you are driving in (0.7 mi. from the gate) and the overflow channel (vegetation below 2 m) splits from the levee, allowing larger vegetation to grow. The male used both sides of the channel and I lost both birds when they flew downstream near the trailers. The waterbird pond had a female NORTHERN PINTAIL with a single small, downy young, a male and female RING-NECKED PHEASANT with two small fledged young, and 10 WILSON'S PHALAROPES, equally split between female and male plumages.

It is an EXCEL file. Just download it, load it into Excel, print it, and cut it to fit your new book. You can find the file on: South Bay Birders Unlimited (SBBU) http://www.stanford.edu/~kendric/birds/ Click on "Information Archives", then on "Birding at the Bottom of the Bay: Alphabetical Index" -------------- On a Personal Note: We just got back from the ABA Convention in Duluth, MN. Although long time members, this is our first convention. It was great. There were 3.5 days of birding, and two days of excellent lectures, plus speakers each night at dinner. There were also many exhibits, etc. Even the food was good. We also birded some extra days with our friend and professional guide, Kim Risen. I saw 112 species and 14 life birds. This is our first trip to this area. Anyone interested in more information can write to me or call. Kendric ----------------------------------------- Kendric C.
