[SBB] Few Migrants (Matadero, Baylands)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 9/9/2005, I made stops at Matadero Creek below Hwy 101 and 
the Palo Alto Baylands in the vicinity of the ranger building.

Matadero Creek was very quiet with the only migrant identified being a 
PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER.  An adult GREEN HERON flew in and was 
delightfully noisy.

At the Baylands, the fennel patch had 2 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 YELLOW-RUMPED 
WARBLERS (my 1st for fall), 3 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, and a LINCOLN'S SPARROW 
(another 1st for me).  Otherwise, it was nearly as quiet as Matadero.  I 
watched an adult SNOWY EGRET feed two fledglings at the palm heronry and an 
adult BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON feed a single fledgling in the 
myoporum--both are late records.  They may be a week or two from completely 
abandoning the heronry.
