[SBB] Sunnyvale Baylands & Harvey Marsh

[Barry Langdon-Lassagne <[[email protected]]>]

On 9/16 between 6:00pm and 7:15pm, Ginger and I birded Sunnyvale  
Baylands; the wind was blowing so warblering in the poplars was  
unproductive, nothing more than a few barely-distingushable "chips"  
in the canopy. We headed out down the path at the southeast corner to  
see Harvey Marsh and the smaller marsh just the other side of  
Guadalupe Slough. In the small marsh, we saw 6+ Blue-winged Teal, and  
two Red-necked Phalaropes. A Common Yellowthroat was gorgeously  
cooperative in the fading light.

In Harvey Marsh we saw six White Pelicans, 400+ dowitchers, 60+  
American Avocets, about 15 more Blue-winged Teal and 100+ Black- 
necked Stilts. We watched a brief battle between an American Kestrel  
and a White-tailed Kite. On the north side of Harvey Marsh, between  
the marsh and the slough we saw our first Yellow-rumped Warbler of  
the fall, in first-fall plumage; with the brief look we had, we were  
unable to determine whether Myrtle or Audubon race.
