All,

This morning I made a quick stop at the marsh located north of Charleston Rd 
and east of Shoreline Blvd.  It was my sixth [and last] try for the Northern 
Waterthrush which I did not find.  [The bird was seen by someone during the 
Palo Alto CBC.]  I did, however, find a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW in a tree on the 
southern edge of the marsh [and path] near Shoreline Blvd [just west of the 
large parabolic antennas, nearest the smaller antenna].  The bird had a white 
throat patch, a black lateral throat stripe, white malar stripe and whitish 
supercilium with yellow lores.  It had fine streaking on a grayish breast and 
generally looked fairly dull.  The bird was also wet having apparently just bathed. 
 Several [4-5] WILSON'S SNIPE were also seen in and flying over the marsh.  
The rest of the morning was spent at the Palo Alto Baylands, first at "Rail 
Corner" not seeing a Black Rail and then along the channel that parallels the 
Palo Alto Airport not seeing a Swamp Sparrow.  We had the highest tide that I 
have seen in recent years but the only rail to fly in was a SORA [and only one of 
them].  Best sighting of the day for me was a pair [male and female] of adult 
PEREGRINE FALCONS perched near each other on a power tower.  It was neat to 
see the great size difference [her much larger] and color variation [her 
underparts very nearly white, his a creamy-tan].

Take care,
Bob Reiling
