[SBB] Stevens Creek Dipper

[delphinus <[[email protected]]>]

Today Peter Doyle and I saw the AMERICAN DIPPER above the 4th bridge 
from the intersection of Mt. Eden Rd. and Steven Creek Canyon Rd.
It was approx. 50 yrds above the bridge with the creek in the right 
side. It was very cooperative. We watched it catch moths and butterflies 
and then it landed on a rock and preened for quite awhile. It stayed in 
the same area for ~30 min before it flew back downstream. I also saw a 
PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER along the creek between bridges 3 and 4 where 
the big rocks are along the creek.

Later, while at the Chestnut picnic area where the road loops back 
around, we saw 2 BROWN CREEPERS, heard at least 2 PURPLE FINCHES (thanks 
to Phyllis Swanson for pointing them out),  many WARBLING VIREOS both 
seen and heard, 3 SPOTTED TOWHEES were foraging on the ground in the 
picnic area, 2 OAK TITMOUSE in the trees and lots of DARK-EYED JUNCOS. 
Also, a pesky Stellers Jay immitating a red-shoulded hawk, but he didn't 
fool us.

Happy birding,
Summer Brasuel
