[SBB] SOSA and migrants - Stevens Creek north of Hwy 101

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

All,

On the way into work this morning 4/23/07, I looked for migrants along 
Stevens Creek between Highway 101 and Crittenden Lane. I found 4 to 5 
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, 3 WILSON'S WARBLERS, 1 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 
1 WARBLING VIREO, and 1 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. Both HOODED and 
BULLOCK'S ORIOLES were also seen. Lingering winter birds were still very 
much in evidence, with 32+ GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS, 1 FOX SPARROW, 6+ 
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (including 1 singing adult male that appeared 
intermediate between AUDUBON'S and MYRTLE) and 1 HERMIT THRUSH.

Biggest surprise was a SOLITARY SANDPIPER foraging leisurely on the mud 
bank just south of the Crittenden lane bridge. Also of note was a pair 
of GREEN-WINGED TEAL under the high tension line crossing. Precocial 
young MALLARDS and KILLDEER were also seen this morning.
