[SBB] Vaux's Swifts etc., MB05 8/3/2007

[Garth Harwood <[[email protected]]>]

Hello All,

This morning 8/3/2007 at about 8:45 AM, a sizeable flock of Vaux's 
Swifts (I can vouch for at least 20) dived down and drank on the fly 
from the little pond at Monte Bello's Gate 5 pond. They were thirsty, 
and returned repeatedly, circling rapidly just above the pond. There 
was also one White-throated Swift in the flock, which also included 
several species of swallows.

Otherwise the cast of characters remains much the same as early in the 
week, with notables including 3 Lawrence's Goldfinches, 2 Chipping 
Sparrows, and an adult Green Heron (there were 3 individuals here 
yesterday!) An Olive-sided Flycatcher is still in the area and could be 
heard calling.
