The bird was not singing it's full song, just a couple "Chat-like" calls as we approached, so it may not be on territory. After a couple minutes the bird flew and we were unable to relocate it after a 30 minute search or on a subsequent recheck as we left. Further west on the first dike we had a nice mixed flock which included, YELLOW WARBLERS (including a breeding plumaged male), WILSON'S WARBLERS, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (including a nicely marked Audubon's). and a pair of HUTTON'S VIREOS. Duck numbers were down but most species were represented. We were unable to locate any Blue-winged Teal. Shorebirds included two GREATER YELLOWLEGS and at least one LEAST SANDPIPER (the only peep in a flock of 10 or 12 that didn't fly away as we walked up). As we started to leave we heard another couple short "Chat like" calls, this time from the creek, near the fourth "sludge pond" dike (counting from Bloomfield Ave) but no joy. We then drove up to Disk Drive in Alviso were we spent over an hour not finding the Yellow-headed Blackbird.
