Assuming everything goes right, we'll be moving to our new server starting the morning of 9/28. Assuming all goes well, everything will be back and running by mid-afternoon my time. Before opening night even! (barely). What you need to do: nothing. For most of you, the upgrade will be invisible. We're upgrading from YellowDog Linux to Mac OS X 10.2, and from mailman 2.0 to 2.1 beta. There's a lot of new stuff in mailman, but for the most part, the average user won't notice much of a change and won't have to change anything. I've set up a test list if people want to go poke at the new list server. You can wander over to and check things out, subscribe, whatever. While I'm making this change, the lists will be offline, and we won't be sending or receiving email. Nothing should bounce -- it'll just queue up waiting for the new server to appear. this will be the 5th server we've used since we started plaidworks in 1995. Hopefully, by moving to OS X, we'll be able to avoid having to rip things apart and rebuild them every couple of years like I've had to do here... but it puts us in a good position to quit standing in place and move forward on some stuff (like decent archives, and the return of hockeyfanz.com in a new experiment), which we just couldn't do on the old box. if you have questions, please drop me a note... chuq -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech [[email protected]] -- http://www.chuqui.com/ Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

We were greeted by 2 TURKEY VULTUREs on the road and 3 others perched in a tree. Also watching us were two RED-TAILED HAWKs. When we arrived at the area where the training trans-nets 1 and 2 are located, we looked hopefully across the creek. Nothing was stirring. As we waited we were treated to an array of warblers flying in and out of the trees and bushes in our vicinity. Interspersed with 2 to 3 dozen YELLOW WARBLERs we spotted 2 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs, an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER and a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER. About 10 COMMON YELLOWTHROATs also flitted about. A buzzy HOUSE WREN made its presence known as did a couple of DOWNY and NUTTALL'S WOODPECKERs. Several WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWs serenaded us as we waited. The only birds spotted on the opposite bank were a couple of SONG SPARROWs. As we were leaving from the banding station, a Red-tailed Hawk flew overhead, followed shortly by a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK and just to the north two other Red-tailed Hawks soared, calling to one another. It was indeed a fitting conclusion to a wonderful morning. Peggy Don , House Wren, Common Yellowthroats, Song and White-crowned Sparrows, Downy & Nuttall's Woodpeckers, Red-tailed & Red-shouldered Hawks, Anna's Hummingbirds and Turkey Vultures.

I guess it could be a freak hybrid of some sort, but it was the same size and shape as other birds in the flock, and might just be leucistic. Today I also made a couple of short birding stops between errands. At the east end of Calero Reservoir there were 8 WHITE PELICANS, FORSTER'S and CASPIAN TERNS, and plenty of shorebirds, with a few COMMON SNIPE and about 50 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS among them. The new marsh vegetation in the dry cove near Bailey Road looks like the perfect place for a Bobolink to show up--alas, no such luck today. Instead I settled for 1-2 MARSH WRENS (a first park record?), COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, and 2-3 LINCOLN'S SPARROWS. Incredible numbers of damselflies were in the dry weedy basin there, as I walked through I kicked up clouds of them--maybe this phenomenon isn't that unusual, and since I'm starting to pay attention to dragonflies I might just be noticing it for the first time. Stopped to ckeck Alamitos Creek near the Camden Avenue bridge (opposite Carrabelle Park). There is a nice big patch of fennel across the creek there. In this area I had a bunch of YELLOW WARBLERS, 1-2 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, another LINCOLN'S SPARROW, and 1 or 2 audio-only WESTERN TANAGERS.

Almaden Reservoir/Alamitos Rd: Five WOOD DUCKS were are the upper end of the reservoir with the males now in full breeding plumage. All five heron species were also seen: Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Green Heron, Black-crowned Night-Heron. Upstream of the reservoir along Alamitos Road by the O'Day property, TOWNSEND'S WARBLER and RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER were seen (first of the season for me at this location) - also YELLOW WARBLER and HUTTON'S VIREO. Calero Reservoir (upper end): Good numbers of fall/wintering waterbirds are beginning to show up. Along with all the coots, Mallards, and Canada Geese (over 200 on Saturday), here are some of the birds noted. Ducks: Gadwall (100+), Amer Wigeon (50+), also N. Pintail, N. Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Ruddy Duck. Shorebirds: Long-billed Dowitcher, Black-necked Stilt, Killdeer (50+), Least Sandpiper, Greater Yellowlegs, and one LESSER YELLOWLEGS associating with the dowitchers. Other birds included Forster's Tern (several), Caspian Tern (one), and a male OSPREY (I think this guy is semi-regular here; I've also seen a male Osprey at Chesbro Reservoir recently; maybe the same one). WILD TURKEYS in the haystacks by the corral and returning WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS in the brushy brambles. A coyote was hanging around the horse corral, but the horses didn't seem disturbed at all. Butterflies seen on the levee trail: Mylitta Crescent, Field Crescent, Orange Sulphur, Common Buckeye, ! Cabbage White, Woodland Skipper.

It was a hot early-afternoon hike without too many birds, but I did see my first GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW of the fall (an immature) at Deer Hollow Farm. In addition to several seen CALIFORNIA THRASHERS, was a heard-only thrasher giving a "whit-wheet" call that sounded similar to a Curve-billed Thrasher's supposedly diagnostic call. Early Sunday 9/22/02, I again checked Stevens Creek north of L'Avenida. Except for 4+ YELLOW WARBLERS at the lone eucalyptus it was very quite, with only another YELLOW WARBLER and 2 "WESTERN FLYCATCHERS" in the way of migrants. Wintering/migrant sparrow numbers were up, with 8 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, 2 (immature) GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS, and 8+ SAVANNAH SPARROWS. Forty MALLARDS in the creek were more than usual, and a single female GADWALL and a PIED-BILLED GREBE were unexpected. Other birds of interest included a juvenile GREEN HERON, an immature COOPER'S HAWK, and at least one BELTED KINGFISHER. Afterwards I quickly checked the Palo Alto Baylands, refinding Dan Keller's BREWER'S SPARROW that Al Eisner told me about. Around the I had 2 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS (1 gray-headed), 8 YELLOW WARBLERS, a SOOTY FOX SPARROW, a GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW, and 5 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS. Nearby at the end of Embarcadero Way I had 3 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS (1 gray-headed), 3+ YELLOW WARBLERS, and 3 more WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS.

This time Dave Quady had the BREWER'S SPARROW staked out at the east end of the patch. We watched it for a couple minutes in good light from about 20 feet. The bird had some very vague streaking on the breast sides and rather distinct rusty edges to the tertials, so I'm assuming it's a juvenile. The outermost tail feather (possibly two) on the right side was only half as long as the rest of the tail. Since I wouldn't expect a juvenile to be in a scheduled molt at this time, I assume it lost these feathers earlier in some catastrophic manner.

Much of the City was visible. My group included Anita Gat and her friends, Ann and Hudson Finke from Montana, and Dr. Reuven Yosef, Director of the International Birding & Research Center, Eilat, Israel. We stayed only until Noon; it got very hot and we had other, cooler places to bird. In the short time that we were there, 7 species of raptors were recorded, including an adult BROAD-WINGED HAWK. Also seen were NORTHERN HARRIER and MERLIN. There were fly-by's by numerous VAUX'S SWIFTs, with one flock of about 30+ birds. Flocks of BAND- TAILED PIGEONs also passed, as did a flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS. I saw a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER in the pines. (GGRO web- site notes 761 raptors of 11 species for today.) If you think it's tough to ID and count raptors at Hawk Hill, Dr. Yosef said that they have to keep track of 39 raptor species, noting male, female and immature plumages for each. I believe he said that their raptor count amounts to about 2 million birds per year! (By the way, he wrote the Loggerhead Shrike account for the Birds of North America, and is supposed to be the only "alien" author in the collection.) There was a weird optical illusion of the Land's End area from the Hill. Two portions of the skyline of trees and ridge appeared to be cut out with a mesa-like portion in the middle. Hard to describe, stranger to look at. It's a great time to visit Hawk Hill. I am doing trips to the Hill on Wed., 9/25; and every Tuesday in October. If you'd like personal assistance learning hawk ID or improving your skills, get in touch and join me on the Hill!
