[SBB] Tennessee Warbler? ... other weekend birdpix

["Tom Grey" <[[email protected]]>]

Folks -- this warbler with some undertail white made a brief appearance at
the "Tennessee spot" on the Guadalupe River just north of Blossom Hill. I
didn't get a good photo -- only these five partial views before the bird
flew across the creek. Anyway, the species is new to me, so I only know
what I read in the books. Is this the TENNESSEE WARBLER?

Friday evening, I walked Stevens Creek below L'Avenida -- no interesting
migrants seen --- spent most of my time shooting egrets and herons, but
managed to get a photo of a Belted Kingfisher, a notably skittish species
(juvenile -- presumably that's how I got close enough). I ran into Garrett
Lau on this jaunt, whose photos I've long admired.

Saturday I went to Alviso, and then on to the Blossom Hill location. Got
some photos of some standard local birds, including one each of Nuttall's
and Downy Woodpecker on the very same perch at the EEC in Alviso; also my
first of fall SAY'S PHOEBE right on the EEC building. No Tennessee at
Blossom Hill. Then this morning, went first to SCWCD, where I ran into Ann
Verdi -- no good birds or photos -- then on to Blossom Hill, where I got
the pix above, as well as an ok Orange-crowned photo.

Pix from these outings, apart from the "Tennessee?" are the first ten in
