The bad news is that we're down to one line. Without going into too much detail, there were technical issues with getting the second phone line installed at the new location. So, while 415.681.7422 = is working fine, the rollover to the second line ends with a cheesy ad from = SBC for a chat line and then dead silence. Fortunately, fall migration is ov= er, so this shouldn't be too much of an impact, but keep this in mind if you dial in and don't hear Joe's stentorian voice or a busy signal. > The Northern California BirdBox is down; it is being moved to a new > location.

It later flew to the "duck pond" where we had extr= eme =20 close-up views as it approached to be fed. This bird is by far the dark= est=20 first winter GLGU that I, with my limited west coast experience, have ev= er=20 seen. The bird is even a bit darker than the dark first winter GLGU sho= wn in=20 Kaufman's "Birds of North America." Best thing to do is to look for the= bill=20 with it's pink base and black tip (clean separation of the two colors) a= nd it=20 does have essentially pure white primaries. When it flies it's true siz= e=20 becomes apparent as it was clearly the largest gull there. A very heavy= , wide=20 bodied, looking gull. A great opportunity to see a rare gull up close. = Not=20 to be missed. =20 Take care, Bob Reiling =20 ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 22:18:08 +0000 From: "Phil Brown" <[[email protected]]> Subject: [SBB] Barrows Goldeneye To: [[email protected]] Message-ID: <[[email protected]]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=3Dflowed I went to Palo Alto in search of Glaucous Gull this lunchtime, and found = a=20 small flock of birders but no gull. Lots of the usual suspects, but nothi= ng=20 interesting so I went on to Shoreline for a quick look and found the fema= le=20 BARROWS GOLDENEYE on the South West corener of the lake near the "No=20 Trespassing" sign by the golf course. She obliging swam to within 20 feet= of=20 me for some great looks, and comparisons to female and male COMMON=20 GOLDENEYES in the same area (along with a very fluffy EARED GREBE).

I had a brief look at what I thought might be= a=20 Common Loon, but the lighting was so bad and the bird so uncooperative th= at I=20 started looking around and immediately found an obvious Red-throated Loon= in=20 the north end of the reservoir. I had trouble deciding whether it was a=20 juvenile or a winter adult, because I didn=E2=80=99t have any book and my= memory of the=20 important characteristics wasn=E2=80=99t all that good. Instead, I decid= ed I was going to=20 be late for the trip, so I left. At that point Ann Verdi was apparently = on=20 her way along the shore from the boat-launch ramp to tell me that she=E2=80= =99d just=20 seen a Common Loon! =20 At the starting point of the trip (I registered 55 species; nothing speci= al,=20 but included American Pipits, Tri-colored Blackbirds, and a Spotted Sandp= iper)=20 Ann soon showed up and we exchanged loonacies. Since she had a cold that= she=20 didn=E2=80=99t want to spread, Ann left the trip and checked for the loon= s on her way=20 home. With difficulty she saw both loons, and she thought that the RTLO = was=20 likely a winter adult. At the end of the trip I tried again but could re= find=20 neither loon. There was a powerboat making fast, noisy runs to both ends= of=20 the reservoir. =20 Frank Vanslager ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 17:27:59 -0800 (PST) From: Siddharthan Ramachandramurthi <[[email protected]]> Subject: [SBB] No Glaucous Gull today To: South Bay Birds <[[email protected]]> Message-ID: <[[email protected]]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3Dus-ascii Hi, I saw no sign of the Glaucous Gull today between 1 PM and 2 PM at the=20 Duck Pond area in the Palo Alto Baylands. A Loggerhead Shrike hunting near the parking lot, providing scope-filling views and allowing=20 photography was a personal highlight. --Sidd Ramachandramurthi Mountain View, CA =09 __________________________________=20 Do you Yahoo!?=20 The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free!=20 http://my.yahoo.com=20 =20 ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 20:37:10 EST From: [[email protected]] Subject: [SBB] Vasona To: [[email protected]] Message-ID: <[[email protected]]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"US-ASCII" Good evening SBBers.... I did a quick loop around Vasona today and was thrilled to see that four=20 Great Blue Herons were hunting for food and one GBHE was standing on a ne= st in the=20 island on the lake....I think one of the other herons should tell him to = go=20 to the Colony that I monitor! Lots, of Snowy Egrets (12), as well as=20 Black-crowned Night Herons....10 adults and 8-10 juveniles.... Great Egre= ts numbers=20 were also good, 6-8. 6 Killdeer were squabbling amongst themselves.... Lots of American Goldfinch feeding in the trees behind the boat launch. =20 Other than that it was quiet.....
