Ryan Terrill posted this message to Monterey Bay
Birds, but I figured that since not everyone on this
list is subscribed to that one, I figured it'd be of
interest.

Good birding,

Santa Cruz


Today Matt Brady and I birded Loma Prieta.  Among
other things, such as singing Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers
and California Thrashers, we had an adult female
CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD.  The bird was sitting on a brach
about 30 feet into Santa Cruz county, but we watched
it fly across the line to Santa Clara county also. 
The bird was at the intersection of Mt. Bache rd. and
Mt. Madonna rd. It was a very small hummingbird, with
an evenly and thinly steaked gorget (with no clusters
of colored feathers in the center), and a very short,
thin bill. It had a pale wash of buff on the sides,
and a short tail with no red in it .  It had a white
spot behind the eye, and the small, white "comma" just
in front of the eye. We viewed the bird from very
closely, maybe 15 or 20 feet, and had very good looks
at it while it was sitting on a branch.
