All,

This morning 5/2/04, Mike Mammoser and I spent just over 2 hours
birding from the dike west of Llagas Creek and north of Bloomfield
Road.  Highlights included 3 singing YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS (one just
north of the bridge and two up near the "hill" by the Gilroy sewer
ponds, including one sitting out in the open easy to see), two pairs
of courting BLUE-WINGED TEAL in the first pond, an AMERICAN BITTERN
that flew from the second pond to the third, and 4 WILSON'S PHALAROPES
in the last pond before the "hill" near the sewer ponds. Lots of
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, YELLOW WARBLERS, annd WILSON'S WARBLERS were
singing along the creek, along with a single WESTERN TANAGER.
Shorebirds and dabbling ducks were numerous and included 3 NORTHERN
SHOVELERS, a pair of GREEN-WINGED TEAL, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER, and a
WHIMBREL.  At least 2 GREEN HERONS and a pair of COMMON MOORHEN were
about as well. One BLACK-NECKED STILT appeared to be incubating on a
nest, taking a brief break only to copulate with its mate. Two
AMERICAN COOT nests were found as well.

Mike Rogers
