I started out covering the fennel patch and the nearby ranger station area. Wintering sparrow and Yellow-rumped Warbler numbers are up - no luck with the Brewer's Sparrow. As I was leaving here, I bumped into Scott Terrill, who was making a quick stop on the way back from an early work assignment. We headed over to the end of Embarcadero Way, where Scott pished in a hatching-year BLACKPOLL WARBLER that eyed us cooperatively on and off for the rest of the time we were there. A quick check of Matadero Creek after this didn't turn up much. ranger station Emb Way Matadero Orange-crowned Warbler 1 4+ 1 to 2 Yellow Warbler 6 4 3+ Yellow-rumped Warbler 3 12+ 1 Blackpoll Warbler 1 Fox Sparrow 2 to 3 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow many many Golden-crowned Sparrow 6+ Mike Rogers Received: from thorium.btinternet.com (thorium.btinternet.com [194.73.73.67]) by plaidworks.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g8QJ5fV24110 for <[[email protected]]>; Thu, 26 Sep 2002 12:05:42 -0700 Received: from mendelevium ([194.75.226.23]) by thorium.btinternet.com with esmtp (Exim 3.22 #8) id 17udxD-0001IV-00 for [[email protected]]; Thu, 26 Sep 2002 20:05:39 +0100 Received: from 192.73.228.9 by mendelevium ([194.75.226.23]); Thu, 26 Sep 02 20:05:39 BST Message-ID: <5644739.1033067139897.JavaMail.root@127.0.0.1> Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 20:05:39 +0100 (BST) From: [[email protected]] To: [[email protected]] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-MAILER: talk21.com WAS v2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by plaidworks.com id g8QJ5fV24110 Subject: [SBB] Flycatchers and rails Sender: [[email protected]] Errors-To: [[email protected]] X-BeenThere: [[email protected]] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Many thanks to everyone about the flycatchers. The consensus appears to be that Willow is more likely than a Peewee at this time of the year. I only asked really because I saw one in Marin Headlands (sorry, somewhat out of area) which seemed to have the right throat and chest colouring for a Willow but it had absolutely no eye-ring. I didnt know at that stage that checking the length of the primaries was a good test. Anyway my latest problem concerns a rail calling at by the radar tower at Sunnyvale WPCP. The closest match to the sound and rhythm I could get from my CDs (Stokes) was Clapper Rail but isnt that somewhat out of its normal habitat?

Pretty quiet, and I was pretty rushed. Have any of you been along this island of riparian habitat in the sea of agricultural field surrounding it lately? Curious to know if anyone has rustled up some passing warbler traffic there. Most fun was when I pished a vocal Bewick's and a House Wren made an appearance in the same bush, almost within the same field of view. The two were about 3 feet apart, and both were very vocal by turns.

We had the first winter CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER fairly early and had frequent good looks over the next two hours (including the yellow vent which only showed at certain angles) as we looked for other goodies. Notable birds in this area included YELLOW WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, WESTERN KINGBIRD, "WESTERN" FLYCATCHER and WILLOW FLYCATCHER. Later we were joined by Jack Cole and John Meier, both of whom also had good views of the CSWA. On two or three occasions the CSWA flew from the northern most Cottonwood tree across the creek to Weeping Willows only to show once again in the upstream portion of the same tree. Later I had a "black and white" warbler that I did not nail down, I was distracted by a darkly marked Yellow Warbler, and I was subsequently unable to refind (most likely a Black-throated Gray). We also had a solo VAUX'S SWIFT with a small flock of swallows (just north of the banding trailer) and a PEREGRINE FALCON (perched on a bare branch on the east side of the creek, northeast of the trailer). The "Waterbird Pond" had lots of dowitchers (at least one in mostly breeding plumage), a solo GREATER YELLOWLEGS, a solo WESTERN SANDPIPER and our first HERRING GULL of the fall, an adult. As we were leaving Bill Bousman was on his way in to look for the Chestnut-sided Warbler (he was hoping he would be able borrow the bino's that Mike Mammoser borrowed the other day :-) I assume he will post his results later. Frank and I then made a stop at State and Spreckles in Alviso were the REEVE was quickly found in the pond.
