I stopped at the Charleston Rd. marsh and walked toward the Par Course station #7. Just before I reached it I saw the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH in a bare tree in the marsh. It later showed up in a small pine tree across the way. Both views were rather distant so I decided to walk around to the other side. Even though the lighting would not be the best looking from the other side I figured that a closer view would compensate. Sure enough at 9:45 AM I heard it calling and had a very satisfying look at it in the pine tree. After a cursory look for the White-throated Sparrow I headed for the Palo Alto Baylands. Arriving around 10:15 AM I went to look for the Swamp Sparrow. There were lots of sparrows to be seen but not the Swamp Sparrow. Shortly after 11 AM I headed back for the rail corner to do the Black Rail watch. Les Chibana was heading out for the Swamp Sparrow. The tide wasn't very high so I went back for the Swamp Sparrow and passed Les Chibana again, who did not see the Swamp Sparrow, as he was heading back. I thought, "That sparrow is due to make an appearance." Ten minutes after I arrived where the sandbags are the SWAMP SPARROW hopped out for a very nice view and then flew into some dry reeds. I could see movement but it could have been a MARSH WREN that was quite active. Feeling lucky I drove back to the Charleston Rd. marsh for lunch. There were very few sparrows but I bided my time. Some Whie-crowned Sparrows began foraging. In the second group of White-crowned Sparrows I picked out a white-striped WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at 2:20 PM. It was in the vicinity of the 1330 building. GUNG HAY FAT CHOY everyone and ... Good birding, Peggy Don _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
