Not sure what the marsh is called, but after some consultation (Les Chibana), I came up with "Shoreline Marsh", "Charleston Marsh" or "Charleston Road Marsh" I suspect it can be accessed via Charleston Rd. There is a Par course path that runs along the marsh. In a brushy tree by the path, about 20 yards from what appears to be a pumping station. We heard a very distinctive call note, low in the brushy part of a tree. I got some good views of a Northern Waterthrush. Key for me was seeing the white supercillium, the bird also pumped its tail. It wandered off quickly and we weren't able to re-find it. Also spotted in the same area were Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrows. Les also recalled a Northern Waterthrush was recorded in the same area last year in Oct and that Bill Bousman spotted a one in Stevens Creek on Oct 6th of this year. Another highlight was Brooke spotting an Eurasian Green-winged Teal in Stevens Creek, between Crittenden lane and the tidal marsh. It was foraging with our garden variety Green-winged Teals. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
