We located it upstream of the Mission College Blvd. bridge, about half-way to the wooden pedestrian bridge at around 10:00a this morning, 11/12/02. It was feeding on the east bank. We were not able to locate the bittern or Clay-colored Sparrow; if the WTSP persists after the storm, so could the CCSP. We also saw three LINCOLN'S SPARROWs, CEDAR WAXWINGs, and an adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWK. A male BELTED KINGFISHER plunged into the creek and came up with a small cray/craw-fish/dad. Got that? It juggled it for correct positioning, then swallowed it in one gulp. At the Guadalupe River by Trimble Rd., an OSPREY perched nearby on the south side. A female BELTED KINGFISHER flew up to a perch with a much larger crayfish than seen earlier and took more time to think about this meal. We didn't walk along the river due to the time. At Stevens Creek by L'Avenida Rd., the bird activity was very low at Noon. This trip was a half-day rarities chase.
