A number of MARSH WRENS were singing from the cattails lining the ponds and I was able to find 2 nests there, although I had no chance to confirm whether they are active or "dummy" nests. A couple of GREEN HERONS at these ponds looked to be males in high hormone condition. Later, I visited my friend in Willow Glen and checked on the COOPER'S HAWK nest about 40 feet up in a sweet gum tree in front of her house. One of the birds flew in to the nest carrying something in its beak that looked like a potential food item and I thought that they might possibly have chicks. However, the second bird (which was on the nest) flew off and the arriving bird simply settled in to an incubating position. Perhaps the food item was just a treat for its mate. Still later, in my friend's back yard, I had a MERLIN fly by low over the rooftop. It was exhibiting a shallow stiff-winged flight style (much like a Spotted Sandpiper) and uttered some vocalizations as it passed by the Cooper's Hawk nest tree. On Sunday, 11 Apr 04, I visited Stevens Creek Park, where I was able to add a passel of year-birds; such as WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE, ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, WILSON'S WARBLER, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, and a cooperative AMERICAN DIPPER along Stevens Canyon Road above Mt. Eden (seen with Chris Wolf). Mike Mammoser _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
