Six of the new species were 2s and 3s: LESSER YELLOWLEGS, ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD, LEWIS'S WOODPECKER, NOR. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW, HOUSE WREN, and SAGE SPARROW. There were four 4s. A ROSS'S GOOSE was found at the Sunnyvale Baylands on 5 Feb and has remained through the month and into March. A 1st-winter GLAUCOUS GULL was found north of the Alviso Marina on 1 Feb and has also been refound a few times in the Alviso area. LONG-EARED OWLS are again using Ed Levin for a roost site, with the first observation on 1 Feb. Three GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS at Ed Levin on 23 Feb may be wintering birds. February provide two 5s. A female RUFF was found north of the Alviso Marina on 1 Feb. This may be the same bird found in the Alviso area last fall and perhaps in the last two winters as well. An EVENING GROSBEAK was seen in a Saratoga yard about 14 Feb, and is the first we've found in the last four or five years. Spring is already off and running and many fairly common species are already starting to reappear. Good luck on March!
