Title: S.C. Co. List for June 2006

Bill Bousman writes:

June was a good month and we found six new species for the composite list, bringing the total to 250. A normal June results in only about four new species so the two extra brought us back to one short of the long-term average (251).

Three 5's were found in June. The first were a couple of RED CROSSBILLS, crossing Skyline Boulevard from Santa Cruz to Santa Clara County on 5 Jun. On 9 Jun, two adult LITTLE BLUE HERONS were found, one on Salt Pond A16 in Alviso and one at Almaden Lake. The next day, a third adult was found at the small marsh across from Coyote Ranch--quite an invasion. The last of the 5's was an extraordinarily late TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE found at Monte Bello OSP on 19 Jun.

The first of the 6's was a SAGE THRASHER along Monte Bello Ridge on 3 Jun. This bird, like the Townsend's Solitaire, was extraordinarily late. On 5 Jun an OVENBIRD was heard singing along Skyline Boulevard and moved from Santa Cruz into Santa Clara County. The last of the 6's was a singing BELL'S VIREO found along Coyote Creek near the Coyote Creek GC on 20 Jun. None of these birds were found subsequently.
