It was a very soggy and drizzly day, but I went on my weekly visit to Overfelt Gardens and finally got my first glimpse of a Nashville Warbler!! The bird was a dull olive-yellow--brighter yellow underneath--with a distinctly gray head and bright white eye rings. I've been keeping a look out for this bird ever since Ann Verdi reported it right before the CBC! I found the NAWA in the "California Wild" section of the park which is just over the wooden footbridge near the west entrance of Overfelt Gardens. It was in the bush just behind the big sign that reads "California Wild." It worked its way north through the native shrubs into the Oak tree along the fence which marks the the north boundary of the "native plants" section. The warbler showed up again (or perhaps there was more than one?) about 20 minutes later further east in the California Wild section. Also, there's been a pair of Yellow-shafted Flickers (along with the many Red-shafteds) on every weekly visit since January 23rd, including today's visit. Absent today were the egrets and herons--not one could be found--and the lovely little group of Fox Sparrows that were all over the California Wild section of the park at the end of January. I suspect that all of Overfelt's usual gulls, waterfowl, and waders are over at Lake Cunningham enjoying the flooded fields at the north end of that park! Take care, Kim Blythe Santa Clara Here are the other birds that were enjoying the break in the showers this afternoon: Ruby-crowned Kinglets (more than I've ever seen there!!) Anna's Hummingbird Ring-necked Duck Mallard American Coot Pied-billed Grebe Yellow-rumped Warbler (both Myrtle and Audubon's) Oak Titmouse Black Phoebe Northern Flicker (yellow- and red- shafted) Golden-crowned Sparrow Bushtits Western Scrub Jay California Towhee Ring-billed Gull White-crowned Sparrow Northern Mockingbird Hermit Thrush Dark-eyed Junco Mourning Dove American Crow Red-shouldered Hawk American Robin Chestnut-backed Chickadee House Finch _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
