[SBB] Sunnyvale Blackpoll continues

[Mike Rogers <[[email protected]]>]

All,

I spent a couple of hours birding Sunnyvale Baylands Park this morning 
9/15/06 (along with about 15 other birders). Birds seen today were 
similar to those reported over the past several days, but the rarities 
remain elusive, with only the BLACKPOLL WARBLER being seen by the time I 
left. More notable birds include:

OSPREY - 1 heading southeast overhead at 8:24am
The same raptors as before: 1 imm Cooper's Hawk, a pair of 
Red-shouldered Hawks, and both immature and adult Red-tailed Hawks
BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD - a fem/imm continuing at the east end of the 
double row of cottonwoods and about 4 trees west of here
SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRD - 1 fem/imm with a very rufous tail, partway 
along the double row of cottonwoods
PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER - 1
A few each of VIOLET-GREEN and BARN SWALLOWS
HOUSE WREN - 1
WARBLING VIREO - 1
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER - 3+
YELLOW WARBLER - 25+
TOWNSEND'S WARBLER - 1 fem/imm
BLACKPOLL WARBLER - 1 imm. I first found this bird at the east end of 
the cottonwoods at 8:32am, but it was seen later in its usual spot 
further west in the double row of cottonwoods
WILSON'S WARBLER - 3
WESTERN TANAGER - 4
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK - 1
DARK-EYED JUNCO - 4

Many birders were still searching the park when I left, but the wind had 
picked up quite a bit, making birding difficult and less productive.
