This morning, 9/24/2002, I watched the BREWER'S SPARROW feeding in the fennel patch at the Palo Alto Baylands, along with Al Eisner. The bird was with a small flock of House Sparrows feeding amoung the seed heads, next to the parking area, about half way along the lot's length. I left shortly after, leaving Al the good work of sorting through House Finches and Yellow Warblers for something new and different.

I suggested that it might be a Blackpoll Warbler and, after looking in Sibley, she said that was possible. So I headed out there this morning and checked the warblers near the north net lanes. I was joined by Roland Kenner, who said he had a strange warbler with white wing bars across the creek. I got two brief obstructed glimpses of what did indeed look like a Blackpoll, but then spent the next 45 minutes searching in vain for the bird. Finally, at 8:49am I got great looks at the BLACKPOLL WARBLER just across the creek from the northmost nets in the low branches of the large cottonwoods. I called Roland over and we enjoyed nice views of the bird until 8:52am, when it was joined by a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER in the same binocular view! Two new birds for the composite list! The CSWA hung around until 8:58am, providing outstanding views and we were still seeing the BLACKPOLL at 9:14am when I left for work. Other birds seen up there included 14 YELLOW WARBLERS, 4 "WESTERN" FLYCATCHERS, 3 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS (2 gray-headed, including one very MacGillivray's-like individual), 2 AUDUBON'S YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 WESTERN TANAGER, 1 WESTERN KINGBIRD, and 1 singing! HOUSE WREN. Also a female COMMON MERGANSER flew south overhead along the creek. On the drive out I had another (the same?) WESTERN KINGBIRD opposite the banding trailer and 11 AMERICAN PIPITS on the road south of the southern edge of the water pollution control plant. I also heard what sounded like a Northern Waterthrush chipping from the creek from this latter spot. A dead Gray Fox was on the lower road south of the banding trailer.

Since I'm considering a quick trip there, can anyone clarify what "north net lanes" means? Some years ago I recall there were lanes north of the trailer, including a few way north where the levee road has started to zigzag west and north. Do those lanes still exist? Or does "north net lanes" mean the northmost lanes which are south of the trailer?

The warblers were on the east side of the creek just south of the willow with the heron/egret nests in it. You can drop down to a lower road here just after the dike road curves around the north edge of the water pollution control plant ponds and before the road drops to head toward the waterbird pond.

The usual: many YELLOW WARBLERs and a few ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS and COMMON YELLOWTHROATs, and my first GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW of the fall. Unusual was a SPIZELLA sparrow 100 yards out towards the bay from the fennel patch corner: grey rump, indistinct central stripe on crown, two prominent buffy wing bars, dark lores, plain face below the eye stripe with very little by way of either moustachial or malar stripes. I conclude it was a first winter CHIPPING SPARROW in bright, warm plumage.

A couple hours here were fruitless for that bird but I did see about 8 YELLOW WARBLERS, a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, a WILSON'S WARBLER, 2 WARBLING VIREOS, and a WESTERN TANAGER. I then moved on to CCFS, where the area around the trailer had another 12 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS (one was even singing), 2 WILSON'S WARBLERS, a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, and a HOUSE WREN. I met up with the bander training class up by the northern-most riparian habitat. They must have captured at least 15 YELLOW WARBLERS while I was there. A BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER eluded the nets, but was seen in the willows. On Sunday, 22 Sep 02, after coming back from the coast, I took a visiting birder out to New Chicago Marsh to look for the Ruff, without success. However, we did see the PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER. This bird looked to be an adult in full basic plumage, and I assume it to be the second bird that was found there recently.
