[SBB] Blackpoll Warbler

["Michael Mammoser" <[[email protected]]>]

I went to the Sunnyvale sewage ponds today, arriving at approximately 12:30.
Dean Manley and Phil Brown eventually showed up as well. I checked the
fennel - nothing - then the eucs around the water tanks - just YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLERS - and walked completely around the old landfill - 2 YELLOW WARBLERS
and a WILLOW FLYCATCHER in the "other" fennel. After another check of the
original spot I left to return to work.

Getting back to work I found Vivek's email waiting, indicating he had seen
the warbler about 10 minutes before I got there. Disappointed and
determined, I returned just after 3:00 pm and the first bird I saw was the
BLACKPOLL WARBLER, in the small fennel bunch just after the turn across the
bridge. Eventually, Peggy Don and another birder showed and we had great
views. This bird was extremely cooperative for a good half hour, giving
binocular-filling views from as close as 15 feet.
