With the start of the fall migration, the composite list for Santa 
Clara County increased by nine species from 253 to 262.

We picked off a number of 4's in August. Five juvenile BAIRD'S 
SANDPIPERS were found in New Chicago Marsh on 15 Aug and a few birds 
were found there through the end of the month. Missed during the 
spring migration, the first of the fall passage MACGILLIVRAY'S 
WARBLERS, a female, was found along Coyote Creek below Hwy 237 on 18 
Aug. A juvenile STILT SANDPIPER was on Salt Pond A3N on 27 Aug and 
may have been the same juvenile seen at the New Chicago Marsh on 30 
Aug.

The rest of August's new birds were 5's. A female COSTA'S HUMMINGBIRD 
was carefully identified (and video taped) at a Morgan Hill feeder on 
6 Aug. On 15 Aug, a male INDIGO BUNTING was found at Monte Bello OSP. 
The next day, a PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER was seen at the New Chicago 
Marsh, but it did not stay. A BLACK TERN was found foraging over 
Crittenden Marsh on 18 Aug and remained over the next few days. More 
cooperative, a juvenile FRANKLIN'S GULL was found at the Sunnyvale 
WPCP ponds and stayed through the end of the month. On 31 Aug, a 
female RUFF was seen in the New Chicago Marsh, but like the 
golden-plover, it has not been seen again.
