Our first stop was at Guadalupe Oak Grove Park where we worked the southern (south of the hill) and southwestern portions of the park in hopes of finding the female Phainopepla previously reported by Ann Verdi (seen Sunday 1/12/03). The park seemed quite birdy with lots of ACORN WOODPECKERS, WESTERN SCRUB JAYS, as well as both CROWNED SPARROWS, OAK TITMOUSE, BEWICK'S WREN, NUTTAL'S WOODPECKER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEE, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, AMERICAN ROBIN, both usual GOLDFINCHES, and at least one each HUTTON'S VIREO, HERMIT THRUSH and COOPER'S HAWK (to name a few). Our second destination was the marshy edges of the channel located just north of the Palo Alto Airport in hopes of finding the Swamp Sparrow seen there earlier this year by Mike Rogers. We were there shortly after high tide but found nothing of note (the tide was not nearly as high as when the bird was seen in late Dec 2002). A quick check of the mud flats in the Yacht Harbor as we going home turned up GLAUCOUS-WING GULL, BONAPARTE'S GULL and several MEW GULL. Take care, Bob Reiling, 2:24 PM, 1/16/03 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
