[SBB] Charleston Road Marsh 15 Mar 2005

[Kathryn Parker <[[email protected]]>]

This morning, Tuesday, I had a 3 1/2 thrush morning at Charleston Road 
Marsh in Mountain View. On the 3rd try, I finally saw the NORTHERN 
WATERTHRUSH near the SE corner of the marsh. At about 8:15 it appeared 
in the full, low willow, chipping and bobbing. It spent the next 3 
minutes going from the tree to the ground underneath, feeding, chipping 
and bobbing. Then it flew up the side of the marsh, stopped chipping 
and disappeared. (I know it is not a real thrush, that is why it is the 
1/2.)
Earlier I had seen a beautiful male VARIED THRUSH first up by the 
plywood pile and later as I was leaving, it was perched in the straggly 
pine at the SE corner of the marsh. I also had seen 3-4 HERMIT THRUSHes 
and quite a few tootling AMERICAN ROBINS.
There was also a nice flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS in the conifers with the 
tiny cones on the business-side of the path.
