A useful resource that is a first step in answering these questions is the Santa Clara County check list that is on the SCVAS site as a PDF file It is a fairly large file so it is probably best to download it once for your reference. The dates indicated by the bar graphs are quite accurate, so that with a scale you can determine the actual day of the month. However, the source information is not always the best. Rarities are generally well documented, but the temporal behavior of common or fairly common species is more difficult to obtain and is often based on sketchy records.
