Best bird was a very close fly-by of a Peregrine Falcon, going north on the east bank of the creek shortly after 9 a.m. She was probably no more than 25 feet overhead. Also of note were 9 Greater White-Fronted Geese overhead, probably headed into the Gilroy sewer ponds. Other birds were Lincoln's, Song and Fox Sparrow, House Finch, Bewick's Wren (many calling from prominent perches), Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Harrier, Scrub Jay, American Crow, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Northern Flicker, Common Yellowthroat, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Oak Titmouse, Bushtit, Killdeer. Several Virginia Rail calling from two different areas. A first for me at that location was a singing California Thrasher. Last night, 5 p.m., a Great Horned Owl was persistently calling from the eucalyptus forest behind Anzar Pond in northern SBT. No unusual ducks in the fading light -- Mallards, Coots, a male Belted Kingfisher, Great Blue Heron and Great Egret present.
