On Saturday, 25 Sep 04, I birded some of the fennel patches around the bay edge, after a quick fruitless check of Sunnyvale Baylands Park for Brewer's Sparrow. At the Sunnyvale sewage ponds, I checked the fennel and other veg along the northwest edge of the old landfill, coming up with 22 YELLOW WARBLERS and 2 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS. A handful of COMMON YELLOWTHROATS were also present. The Lockheed Pond was completely dry and held nothing of interest. A fair number of ducks were on the West Pond, most looking like RUDDY DUCKS. At the Palo Alto Baylands fennel patch I had 8 YELLOW WARBLERS and an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER (YELLOWTHROATS here as well). On Sunday, 26 Sep 04, I birded Llagas Creek north of Bloomfield Ave. The interesting birds here were 8 YELLOW WARBLERS, an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, and my first 2 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS of the season. The ponds along the creek are all dried out as well. A field along Bloomfield had about 150 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS working it over, while 2 AMERICAN PIPITS were on the ground. Word of caution: while birding Llagas Creek I had 2 hispanic gentlemen come down the levee, one of them carrying a gun. They seemed friendly enough and said they were out "subsistence" hunting for rabbits. After they went by I remained birding, but when I saw them coming back later I worked my way out ahead of them to avoid another meeting. I then went to Coyote Reservoir, where the shallow end mudflats held a juvenile PECTORAL SANDPIPER. Also here were 30 BLACK-NECKED STILTS, 2 GREATER YELLOWLEGS, a scattering of DOWITCHERS and LEAST SANDPIPERS, and a WILSON'S SNIPE. The rock face of the dam had a pair of cooperative ROCK WRENS and a RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROW. On the way home, I had 8 AMERICAN PIPITS at the sod farm on Palm Dr, just off Monterey Hwy.
