All,
At about 9:30 this morning Frank Vanslager and I had a PACIFIC
GOLDEN-PLOVER in partial alternate plumage in the third pond near the "hill" to
the east (left) of the entrance to the Gilroy Water Treatment
Facility. ID of this golden colored bird was somewhat confusing as it
seemed to have too much black on the flanks (thinking American
G-P) however the bird had a very short primary projection beyond the
end of the tail and had a nice buffy wash on the face with a broad
white supercilium and a very prominent ear spot. After I took several
photos Frank then flushed the bird and we were able to get good views of the
underwing and it's lack of any black axillaries. After a
short flight the bird returned to the western edge of the partially
filled pond and it was still there when we left at about 11:20.
Unfortunately we were unable to re-find the Yellow-headed Blackbird seen
Monday.
Take care,
Bob Reiling
