It started out very slowly but then an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER started chipping in my yard. i then looked at my bottlebrush and found five WESTERN TANAGERS (3 males and 2 females). Since then, I've been watching periodically and added on BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, one male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD, and, the bird of the day so far, a male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD! Both hummingbirds have already moved on but the tanagers seem to be sticking around. Several CLIFF and TREE SWALLOWs have been hawking insects overhead. Check your neighborhood trees today because you may be pleasantly surprised! Yesterday, I checked Llagas Creek in the south county for a walk along the east side levee from Bloomfield Ave. Highlights were a migrating group of 9 WESTERN TANAGERs, numerous WILSON'S, YELLOW, and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERs, TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, and two singing YELLOW-BREASTED CHATs. The songs of BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKs, WARBLING VIREOs, and BULLOCK'S ORIOLEs provided pleasant background music. A cooperative CALIFORNIA THRASHER was also calling throughout my walk. A surpise were three flocks of HIMBREL which totalled 35 individuals. A single VAUX'S SWIFT was a year bird as were the numerous CLIFF SWALLOWs (I haven't been in Santa Clara County much this year!). Good birding to you......
