[SBB] Blackpoll Warbler (Sunnyvale Baylands)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 9/11/06, I birded the Sunnyvale Baylands, making a 
rough loop from the last parking area along the Meadowlands Trail, 
then going up to the play area, then on to the Baylands Trail out to 
the boardwalk, and then back along the mitigation area.  Although 
foggy in Palo Alto and Menlo Park early, it was clear here.  The best 
bird was an immature BLACKPOLL WARBLER at the east end of the mature 
cottonwoods, seen twice over an hour's period.  Other birds, mostly 
migrants, were 2 "WESTERN" FLYCATCHERS, a SAY'S PHOEBER (my first 
this fall), a CASSIN'S VIREO, 2 WARBLING VIREOS (Baylands Trail 
cottonwoods), 21 YELLOW WARBLERS, 2 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS (in marsh), 
a WILSON'S WARBLER, and 3 WESTERN TANAGER.  Most migrants were near 
the cottonwoods/eucalyptus on the Meadowlands Trail.  Many were 
flying back and forth to the eucs by the play area.  I love September!
