All,

I arrived at Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos before 6:30am this morning
8/10/04 and there were already 5 people cheking out the section of
creek between the parking lot and the restrooms.  Despite this it took
almost two hours to refind the LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH.  I picked it out
at 8:15am opposite the end of the parking lot from within the creek
bed.  It worked its way downstream to past the restrooms, providing
intermittent looks for many of the 20 or 30 people there until about
9:00am.  Despite getting close to the bird several times, I never
heard it call once.  It is a pretty stealthy bird and takes a lot of
time to get to see.  There were lots of people with cameras but nobody
managed to get photos before I left at 9:45am.

Other birds there included a WESTERN TANAGER, 4 CASPIAN TERNS overhead
heading upstream (including one begging young bird), a GREEN HERON,
and a pair of DARK-EYED JUNCOS feeding a BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD.

This is a first county record, #386 I believe, after the recent
addition of Cackling Goose in response to the split of Canada Goose
into two species.

Great find Janna! and thanks to Linda and Scott Terrill for taking the
time to check the bird out yesterday evening.

Mike Rogers
