There were few migrants this morning; all I saw were 5 YELLOW WARBLERS and two COMMON YELLOWTHROATS. A single immature WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW was the only obvious winter arrival. An adult GREEN HERON was along the creek.

Best birding was along the railroad tracks. Species found included the basic plumaged STILT SANDPIPER (working the eastern edge of the pond at State & Spreckles), basic plumaged REEVE (same pond near the fenced-in area), a SNOWY PLOVER (impoundment west of the railroad tracks that head into Alviso proper) and a COMMON SNIPE (new Chicago Marsh). We also had five Pluvialis Plovers, at least three of which were BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS (the best seen bird being a streaky breasted Juvenile). Golden-Plovers were not identified. One SEMIPALMATED PLOVER and two BURROWING OWLS (on the small rise in the southwestern corner of New Chicago Marsh) were also seen. Meanwhile the water level in Salt Pond A16 has been returned to normal, one can only imagine the impact that this pump failure may have had (and may still have) on returning fall migrants.

This time we had more Almaden-Quick- silver experience with us in the form of Ann Verdi. (Thanks Ann!) At dusk, we could see the Turkey Vultures roosting in the tree that we noticed last week. Bats of at least three different sizes were flying. You could see rounded (fide Chris Illes) ears on the largest, slow flapping ones. Shortly after 7:30p, Common Poorwills started spontaneously calling. Tape recordings netted limited responses from them. We checked a few spots where we heard them calling, but getting close to them was not in the cards tonight. We heard them calling sporadically until 9:10, when we left. I estimated that we heard about 5-7 birds based on location and concurrent calling. Earlier, we tried fruitlessly to get Nor. Pygmy Owl to respond. "Our" trusty WESTERN SCREECH-OWL provided one of the best shows of the night, calling long enough from a perch for everyone there to get good views. As we were leaving, Janna Pauser got more screech-owls to respond. They sounded like a couple of young birds giving their squeaky contact calls. We saw three Western Spadefoots (toads); cute critters! At about 7:30p, we saw what looked like a multi-staged rocket streaming a large conical trail behind it low in the southern skies. Anyone else see this? We could see silent, circular explosions of vapor as, apparently, stages of a rocket separated. The nose section disappeared after the second "explosion". Since we're mostly still here, I guess it wasn't the "big one".
