All:

Six dedicated birders braved the several hours of light drizzle at the start 
of today's birding trip at Stevens Creek County Park.  Other than fly-over 
Black-crowned Night-heron, Double-crested Cormorant, and Band-tailed Pigeons, 
our first major sighting was the fledgling Great-horned Owl up in that same 
middle Eucalyptus tree, considerably higher than it was on Roxie's Wednesday 
trip.  In the Questar it looked much wetter and angrier than the 6 birders 
standing under the roof overhang at the ranger station.

We had a fair amount of song, including the usual 4 singing flycatchers and, 
when we walked up to the first oak trees up the power-line road, we had a mix 
of migrating warblers.  In the flock we identified Nashville, Townsend's, 
Wilson's, Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped, and, possibly, Black-Throated Gray 
Warblers.  At the same spot we had Hutton's and Warbling Vireos and a 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, as well as other chaparral species.

At the upper Villa Marie area we had clearer weather, and thus clearer views 
of woodpeckers, flycatchers, goldfinches, finches, and bluebirds.  My count 
for the day, including heard-only's, was 56 species.
