Best find was a very cooperative NASHVILLE WARBLER near the Mazzone Lane bridge--it was still foraging in a sycamore by the bridge when I walked back later. Also had about 20 YELLOW WARBLERS along the creek (mostly associated with fennel patches), an adult COOPER'S HAWK that swooped low over my head to perch in front of me, and loads of NUTMEG MANNIKINS (they definitely seem to be increasing). Janna Pauser also birded along Alamitos Creek today, and had a Western Tanager and White-crowned Sparrow in addition to the migrants I found. At the east end of Calero Reservoir there were the usual shorebirds--BLACK-NECKED STILTS, 6+ GREATER YELLOWLEGS, KILLDEER, a few LEAST SANDPIPERS, a few LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS, and several COMMON SNIPE. Waterfowl numbers have grown, and AMERICAN WIGEON and GREEN-WINGED TEAL were plentiful. A NORTHERN HARRIER came by and scared up a bunch of birds, and there were still several WHITE-TAILED KITES hanging out there.

Good numbers of migrants were about. Once again the banders scooped my first-of-the-fall sparrow record, having banded 2 "Puget Sound" WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS on Sunday 9/15 (along with two more SWAINSON'S THRUSHES and another LINCOLN'S SPARROW). Totals for today: VAUX'S SWIFT - 6+ WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE - 1 to 2 WILLOW FLYCATCHER - 2 "WESTERN" FLYCATCHER - 11+ WARBLING VIREO - 1 HOUSE WREN - 1 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER - 1 YELLOW WARBLER - 42+ BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER - 1 imm male COMMON YELLOWTHROAT - 10+ WILSON'S WARBLER - 6+ WESTERN TANAGER - 1 LINCOLN'S SPARROW - 1 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW - 1 imm BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK - 1 A CALIFORNIA TOWHEE feeding young was late, but we have had several such September records for this species over the years. The bold GRAY FOX was still hanging around near the eucalyptus tree.

It was one of those banner days. When I left at 2:00p, the counters had tallied 750 raptors. Highlights up to that point were 2 adult Broad- winged Hawks. Up to 6 Osprey were seen, and hundreds of Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks. At that point, they had 10 species of raptors. One immature Red-tailed Hawk stilled near the ridgetop within 30 ft., at eye-level. It eventually landed briefly on a railing. Dark and rufous morph adult Red-taileds were also seen. 3 Cedar Waxwings flew north over the ridge. I also saw a couple of Mourning Cloak, a few Monarch Butterflies and Anise Swallowtails. If you can't make the 9/28 Santa Clara Valley Audubon trip to Hawk Hill, I am running several trips there, starting with Sat., 9/21. I'm doing midweek trips on Tue., 9/24; Wed., 9/25; and every Tuesday in October.
