I have checked the new ABA shoppers guide they do not have a specific field guide for Flycatcher. May I ask if anyone can recommend a guide and a source to purchase from? Thanks Rich Cimino Pleasanton -----Original Message----- From: south-bay-birds-bounces+rscimino=[[email protected]] [mailto:south-bay-birds-bounces+rscimino=[[email protected]]] On Behalf Of Bill Bousman Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 6:07 PM To: [[email protected]] Subject: [SBB] Willow Flycatcher, migrants (Stevens Creek) Folks: This morning, 5/26/2004, I took a walk along Stevens Creek from Crittenden Lane to La Avenida. I didn't find any migrants until I reached the thicker riparian of cottonwoods and willows above where the Ames bike path joins the levee. Along this stretch I found a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, a WARBLING VIREO, a SWAINSON'S THRUSH, and 2-3 YELLOW WARBLERS. The Yellow Warblers occasionally sang, but the others were silent. At Crittenden Lane I watched as a COMMON RAVEN flew under the bridge and attempted to grasp the CLIFF SWALLOW nests and pick nestlings out of them. He appeared to work over a couple of nests before the colony of 200+ birds exploded out and flew around him. They looked like a swarm of hornets, but I never saw actually attack the raven. It remained for another 15 or 20 seconds and then abandoned the attempt. I didn't see any nestlings in its bill so I suspect that it was unsuccessful. This afternoon I stopped by the Palo Alto Duck Pond to watch the numerous age classes of SNOWY EGRETS, from small nestlings with gray down to fledged birds. It is difficult to estimate the totals, but it certainly is a show. A washed-out 1st-summer GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL I here as well.
