[SBB] Northern Parula, Orange Bishops



The NORTHERN PARULA was seen again at Steven's Creek, south of L'Aveneda, yesterday (Wed) morning at about 6:50, then again at about 7:10. Mid morning a male ORANGE BISHOP was moving around in the grasses north of and clearly visible from the Crittenden Lane bridge. Other notables were 5+ SAVANNAH SPARROW, a LINCOLN'S SPARROW, and an adult WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, as well as YELLOW WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, and BEWICK'S WREN.  While I was home for lunch (feeling good about the morning's birds), a male Orange Bishop appeared at my west San Jose (Mossbrook Circle) backyard feeder.  It came to the feeder several times, and to the bird bath on the ground, over at least a 30 minute period.  It appeared to have no trouble flying and was able feed without harassment among numerous House Sparrows and House Finches.
