All,

I spent lunch today (3/24/04) looking for migrating hummingbirds and
raptors north of Sandy Wool Lake.  I saw lots of ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS,
but only 4 selasphorus hummingbirds, including 2 courting male ALLEN'S
HUMMINGBIRDS, my first female SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRD of the year, and
a male that may have been a Rufous Hummingbird.  Unfortunately, many
of the male Allen's Hummingbirds raise their orange rump feathers to
the point where their green backs can be hard to see from below and
this last bird didn't wait for me to get a better angle on him :(.
There were plenty of RED-TAILED HAWKS and TURKEY VULTURES riding the
thermals, but a single adult GOLDEN EAGLE and an immature
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK were the only other raptors about.

The area near the green gate had a pair of WESTERN KINGBIRDS (which
later flew to the adjacent golf course) and single SAVANNAH and
LINCOLN'S SPARROWS.  Lots of molting immature CROWNED SPARROWS were
in the brush.  Other birds of note included at least one singing male
TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD, 2 LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES, 5 BULLOCK'S ORIOLES, all
five expected SWALLOWS, and a worn SAY'S PHOEBE.  A single CASPIAN
TERN flew in to hunt over Sandy Wool Lake, the first in the county
this year and Santa Clara County year bird #200 for me :).

Mike Rogers
