Title: S.C. Co. Bird List August 2006
Bill Bousman writes:
Tallying this month's list, I uncovered an
error in that a May record of Canyon Wren in Henry Coe SP was
overlooked. So that bumps the May through July tallies up by one. That
means that the composite list for Santa Clara County at the end of
August is 263, which matches our recent-years average. August was a
pretty good month with 9 new birds, which is 2 better than the
recent-years average. Next month, September is always the peak of the
fall months, and averages about 10 species.
We had four 4's this month. A COMMON TERN was found at the Sunnyvale
WPCP oxidation ponds on 7 Aug. Two PECTORAL SANDPIPERS were at the New
Chicago Marsh on 18 Aug and were the start of an early influx. The
first WILLOW FLYCATCHER of the season showed up near the Calabazas
ponds on 22 Aug and were found widely through the end of the month. A
juvenile BAIRD'S SANDPIPER was at the Gilroy sewer ponds on 24 Aug and
a few more were found along the Bay by the end of the month.
There were four 5's as well. An ELEGANT TERN was seen in the New
Chicago Marsh on 6 Aug. At the end of the month a small flock was at
the Stevens Creek mouth, but otherwise none were seen elsewhere. A
PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER at the Gilroy sewer ponds on 9 Aug was the only
one found. A male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK was a one-day wonder at a
feeder in Los Gatos on 17 Aug. RED KNOTS showed up 18 Aug at the
Stevens Creek mouth and remained through the end of the
month.
The one 6 was a WHITE-WINGED DOVE seen in
flight near the San Jose Airport on 14 Aug. There are only three
previous records in the county.
