At the Mockingbird Hill entrance a pair of adult Cooper's was closely associating in the oaks adjacent to the parking lot, and were calling to each other quite persistently. As they gave their "kek kek kek" calls to each other, sometimes in a string of notes and sometimes just as single notes, they allowed a fairly close approach and I could observe them both with binoculars. As I followed the Hacienda Trail, I found another pair of these hawks near the top of the hill. This time an adult male was circling overhead, white undertail coverts fluffed out in his courtship display, calling to an immature female that was perched in a leafless treetop about 20 yards from me. A little later the male came zooming down and landed in a nearby tree along the trail, where it sat cooperatively for some time, even well after the female had left and while a number of people walked by underneath. A stop at Almaden Lake Park yielded lots of gulls, but no Glaucous. Mainly HERRING, CALIFORNIA, and THAYER'S, with a few RING-BILLED thrown in. On Sunday, 29 Feb 04, I visited CCFS and found the banded HUTTON'S VIREO that's been wintering here. About a half dozen TREE SWALLOWS were flitting around the dead stubs of the tall cottonwood trees along the creek, and at least 1 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW was in the air with them. Today, 1 Mar 04, I noticed both of the PEREGRINE FALCONS perched on the Sun building along Freedom Circle in Santa Clara.
