Except for the AVOCETS and STILTS, the place was almost devoid of shorebirds - with only 7 DOWITCHERS, 1 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and 4 LEAST SANDPIPERS present. The water level here is quite low at this time and I don't know how attractive it will be for shorebirds, unless raised. I then checked the northern-most riparian section, where a pishing session brought in a number of birds. They included 10-12 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 WILSON'S WARBLERS, 3 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, a WARBLING VIREO, a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 2 CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, 3 ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS, a SONG SPARROW, a BEWICK'S WREN, and most surprisingly, a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK. The hawk flew in and lit on a branch above my head, then flitted a couple times to other branches, looking down on me as it did so, before flying off. This is the first hawk I have pished up. I also checked the next riparian section to the south and found 6 more YELLOW WARBLERS and a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER. On Monday, 6 Sep 04, I walked Coyote Creek between Metcalf and Coyote Ranch Road. An OSPREY was perched on a snag alongside Parkway Lakes, both when I started and when I ended my walk. I had 3 YELLOW WARBLERS along the creek. The most interesting thing, though, was a CALIFORNIA THRASHER perched up in a willow going full tilt on a singing session. If it wasn't so hot out, I would have thought it was February. Michael Mammoser _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
