[SBB] Western Tanager & Spotted Sandpipers



Hi Everyone,

Recent posting have indicated the arrival of Western Tanagers, but this morning Janet spotted the FOS Western Tanager in our Milpitas backyard.

Another recent sighting has given rise to a question.  Yesterday, Tuesday, I was birding along San Fransquito Creek at the end of Geng Rd in Palo Alto.  I saw two Spotted Sandpipers foraging together.  Usually seen as single individuals in the Bay Area, I was wondering if there have ever been any evidence of breeding in or around the South Bay?  I think of them breeding being more in the Sierras.  

The next question would be, do they pair up prior to moving to breeding areas?
