[SBB] Some photos and some sightings

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

Hi all,

I spent the morning at the Palo Alto Baylands photographing birds, mostly
around the duck pond.  I also managed to get some nice shots of the
semi-tame RING-NECKED PHEASANT which was very cooperative.  I had a male
NORTHERN HARRIER fly directly overhead at one point.  I have posted some
photos on my website site here:

I would appreciate it if any list members can help me ID the SCAUPS in the
four photos in the web gallery referenced above.  (Even when I think I've
distinguished the lessers from the greaters, I'm happier if I can receive
validation.)

This afternoon I spent some time birding in Stevens Creek County Park.  The
birds were pretty quiet, but I did manage to see a few good birds.  In the
Canyon picnic area, there were two HUTTON'S VIREOS  singing and chasing one
another.  In the Villa Maria area, there were a pair (male and female) of
WESTERN BLUEBIRDS.  I also saw a male WESTERN TANAGER in one of the larger
oaks, my first of the season.  A SHARP-SHINNED HAWK flew in, resting on one
of the large utility towers before flying back in the direction from which
it came.

Good birding everyone,

Michael Pollack
