A Black Turnstone was found along Alviso Slough on 18 Aug. They are always rare this far from rocky shores along the coast. On 29 Aug a juvenile Common Murre was found near the Palo Alto estuary and a second bird was found and captured the next a day. Murres this far down the Bay are rarely healthy and the first bird lived only day. An adult Pacific Golden-Plover was found in the New Chicago Marsh on 1 Sep. It was part way in molting from its alternate plumage to its duller winter dress. Another adult was found nearby later in the month. A Brewer's Sparrow showed up in the fennel patch at the Palo Alto Baylands on 22 Sep. Two days later, on 24 Sep, a Chestnut-sided Warbler and a Blackpoll Warbler showed up together on Coyote Creek below Hwy 237. Subsequently, at least four other Blackpolls were found with one on Embarcadero Way in Palo Alto and an amazing three birds on Alamitos Creek where it enters Almanden Lake. The new AOU checklist has separated our North American snipe from the Eurasian one, so our bird is now called Wilson's Snipe instead of Common Snipe.
