Folks:

      Saturday, 6/21/2003, I toured from Shoreline to Pt. Pinos with a 
visiting British birder, Phil Espin.  Notable within Santa Clara County was a 
single adult GREEN HERON in the Mountain View Forebay, two male GREEN-WINGED 
TEAL in the Palo Alto FCB, the injured alternate WESTERN SANDPIPER in the 
Mountain View Forebay still, an alternate SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER in Adobe 
Creek along with 5+ basic birds, and a TREE SWALLOW foraging widely in these 
areas.

      Sunday, 6/22/2003 and today, 6/24/2003, I checked the palms at the Palo 
Alto Duck Pond for SNOWY EGRETS.  There are 4+ adults in this area (just to 
the right of the old fountain) all in remarkable breeding plumage.  The nest 
site Peter Metropulos found earlier in the spring has two half-size nestlings, 
squabling most of the time.  This is most easily seen with a scope from the 
opposite side of the pond, near where there is a fence that crosses (but does 
not block) the trail around the pond.  This is the first nesting I'm aware of. 
It is difficult to see nests in these ponds and there may be additional 
nesting snowies as well as night herons.

      					Bill
