Title: S.C. Co. Bird List for June 2007

Bill Bousman writes:

May's total, 249 species, dropped one, as the Blue Grosbeak in the south county was over the line in San Benito County (but see below).  But I overlooked alternate plumaged Black Terns found early in May, so the count stayed at 249.  In June we added only four more species.  This is no surprise as the June doldrums normally provide only that number.  Things will pick up over the next three months as we encounter some good fall migrants, shorebirds first.

Three 4's were found in June.  A LONG-EARED OWL was heard at Monte Bello OSP on 2 Jun and is perhaps nesting there again.  A LEAST TERN was in the vicinity of Charleston Slough on 3 Jun.  Postbreeding birds do not show up normally until July, so this was probably a nonbreeding bird.  On 23 Jun, BLUE GROSBEAKS were found along the Pajaro River below Hwy 101.  These included a pair with two dependent fledglings and a separate second-year male.

The only 5 was a female ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK along Stevens Creek below La Avenida on 2 Jun.  Interestingly, a first-year male was seen at Hidden Villa on 7 Jun.
