Good evening all.....

I took a quick 2 1/2 hour walk today over at the ponds. I entered through the 
Oka Lane entrance.  In Pond # 6 (along freeway) were American Wigeons, 
Mallards, Coots and Pied-billed Grebes. In the tree along the chain link 
fence were Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Black Phoebe and a pair of Mockingbirds. 
 

As I walked towards Pond # 5 (the largest pond) there were two Snowy Egrets 
and a Great Egret in the channel.  Pond # 5 had Mallards, 5 male Ring-necked 
Ducks and 3 female, 8 Ruddy Ducks, Coots, Pied-billed Grebes and Cormorants.

I walked towards the bridge and watched the White and Gold-crowned Sparrows 
in the dry brush.  In the fennel patch were 2 Song Sparrows and 1 Common 
Yellowthroat.  Walking along Los Gatos Creek and the freeway in the center of 
the creek were Mallards, Northern Shovelers, American Wigeons, Gadwalls, a 
Pied-billed Grebe still with the stripe markings of an immature Pied-billed.  
At "Snipe Island" were 2 Wilson's Snipe.

Walking back and crossing the bridge an Osprey with a fish flew over towards 
Pond 6.  I had Bushtits along the way as well as a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  2 
Anna's Hummingbirds chased each other as I walked towards the first Campbell 
Pond.  

Lots of Cormorants (75) and Western, Ring-billed and California Gulls could 
be found swimming in Campbell Pond 1 also.

Coming back across the bridge walking towards the Oka Lane entrance, I 
spotted the Osprey in the tree eating the fish it was carrying.  A Green 
Heron flushed. Also, a Black-crowned Night Heron Adult and immature were 
along the canal.  A Belted Kingfisher made an appearance.

Wishing you all good birding and my best regards,
Linda Sullivan
