[SBB] Black-and-white Warbler on San Jose CBC

[[[email protected]]]

This afternoon on the San Jose CBC (12/17), a BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER was seen at Upper Penitencia Creek Park in the Berryessa area of San Jose.  The bird was initially found by Mike Azevedo and was also well seen by Rich Page and myself.

 

Upper Penitencia Creek Park is located at 3050 Berryessa Road west of Piedmont Road.  The bird was seen foraging in the riparian corridor of Penitencia Creek on the south side of the park bordering Penitencia Creek Road.  To narrow down exactly where the bird was seen, it was seen between Cayman Ave on the east and a small rickety wooden bridge crossing the creek at the park to the west.  We viewed the bird from the park side of the creek.

 

The distinctively black and white marked warbler was seen creeping along tree trunks and tree branches, and its behavior resembled that of a nuthatch.

 

Other birds of interest at this park were seven WOOD DUCKS (6 males and 1 female) seen in the large pond which also hosted hordes of coots, gulls, feral Canada Geese, Mallards, and Rock Pigeons, so it was surprising and nice to see these elegant ducks in such "un-elegant" surroundings.
