This morning Roland Kenner and I saw a BLACKPOLL WARBLER just past the
parking lot in the fennel patch on the left side of the trail as you walk
out to the East/West Ponds at the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant.
The bird appeared to be a first winter bird. It was olive on the head and
back; yellow on the face, throat, and upper breast; white on the undertail
coverts. It had coarse streaking on the back and on the sides. It had two
prominent white wing-bars (the lower wing-bar had a slight yellow tint).
The primaries were white-tipped and the tertials had broad white edges.
There was a dark line through the eye. The bill was black on top, but the
lower mandible appeared paler, yellowish. The bird was actively feeding in
the fennel when we first saw it around 8:30. It was still there when we
passed that area around 10:30.
Other notable birds were a BLUE-WINGED TEAL in the slough near the Lockheed
Ponds and several AMERICAN PIPITS in the mud at the edge of the Lockheed
Ponds.
Take care.
Pat Kenny
