This is the lowest species total since 1991 when we had 270 species. The most interesting statistic is that our 10-year average for the composite list is 292 species, which is 19 species greater! In 1997 we had 304 species, which is 31 species more--astounding! We did add one species to the county list in 2003, a single Pinyon Jay in October, and that was nice. The high tides of December brought sightings of BLACK RAIL at last on 21 Dec. This species is usually found every winter (although not in 2002), so it is nice to keep it in the category of 4s. Two Tundra Swans were on Searsville Lake during the first part of December. Fortunately for us, these birds slipped into Santa Clara County airspace on 13 Dec. This is the only 5 we added. Our 6 for the month was a Sage Thrasher at the Sunnyvale WPCP on 12 Dec. This is 9th county record.
