[SBB] Nashville, Golden-crowned Kinglet at Sunnyvale Baylands

["Roland Kenner" <[[email protected]]>]

This morning Pat Kenny and I went looking for sparrows at Sunnyvale 
Baylands.  Our best bird was an adult NASHVILLE WARBLER: gray head, plain 
gray face, yellow throat, white eye ring, white vent area, yellow undertail 
coverts and breast.  Go right after the entrance kiosk and take the first 
parking lot on your right.  Then across the road a NW-SE 
deciduous-tree-lined path runs along the Great Meadow.  Another trail 
crosses that one at right angles more or less opposite the parking lot.  The 
Nashville spent most of an hour in the tree in the northern quadrant of that 
trail intersection above a two tier sign.  Also in these deciduous trees we 
had good numbers of YELLOW and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERs, a "WESTERN" 
FLYCATCHER, and, nearer the park entrance, a GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET.

We saw no unusual sparrows, but there were 6+ LINCOLN'S SPARROWs.  We saw at 
least 3 HERMIT THRUSHes scattered around, and a SAPSUCKER near the low pines 
on the northern edge of the park past the flower garden and across fenced 
waste space from the softball fields.  The Sapsucker had some black on its 
face, we missed the nape, and couldn't refind the bird.
