This morning I started out going for the Waterthrush....When I arrived there were two couples already there....I learned that another couple had seen the Waterthrush just 15 minutes before I arrived. So that put it showing up around 9:15.....hmmmmm How long would I have to wait? One couple left at 10 AM leaving Don, Bernice and myself...At 10:20 Bernice and I heard the Waterthrush and then it flew into the large tree and we watched it for a few seconds and then satisfied I left....Also while I was there...I spotted the following: Great Egret, Lesser Goldfinch, Black Phoebe, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Anna's Hummingbird, Sharp-shinned Hawk and House Finches. I went over to the EEC and the Barn Owl was in the box and you could see it really well for a change... Lots of White and Golden Crown Sparrows, had one Fox Sparrow, a single Eared Grebe, pairs of Song Sparrows, a pair of White-tailed Kites, a pair of Shrikes and 3 Common Yellowthroats.... >From there I went to look for the Ruffs....When I arrived Don and Bernice were already there...no luck...then two gentlemen came down from the tracks and said they had watched the two Ruffs for sometime... so with that Don, Bernice and I (later on) went to the State and Spreckles side to look for the Ruffs.... After finding a Wilson's Snipe, the two Ruffs were finally spotted.... >From Alviso I needed to find a Burrowing Owl so I went to Mission College. Much to my surprise there were only 3 owls....all the rest of the holes had ground squirrels.... I came home to find Band-tail Pigeons on the ground under my feeders.. Wishing you all good birding and my best regards, Linda Sullivan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
