[SBB] Guadalupe River

["Steve and Heather Rottenborn" <[[email protected]]>]

South Bay Birders,

This morning (7 Sep.), I birded the east side of the Guadalupe River between 
Montague Expwy. and Trimble Road in San Jose.  The highlights were 2 
Northern Waterthrushes, which were foraging together (and occasionally 
chasing each other) on bare mud within the overflow channel.  These birds 
were located about 400 meters south of (upstream from) where the upper and 
lower gravel roads diverge just north of Montague Expwy.  As you walk south 
along the lower road, you will pass two PVC drainage pipes between the lower 
gravel road and the overflow channel (these will be obvious when you're 
there).  The birds were about 40 meters south of the second pipe, out in the 
open within the overflow channel, not within the riparian corridor.

Other migrants present along this reach of the river included 12 Warbling 
Vireos, 8-10 Yellow Warblers, 3 Wilson's Warblers, 3 Willow Flycatchers, 6 
Pacific-slope Flycatchers, 4 Black-headed Grosbeaks, and 6 Western Tanagers.
