[SBB] Almaden fallout

[Janna Pauser <[[email protected]]>]

There was another passerine fallout in Guadalupe Oak Grove Park today. I 
found my FOS Swainson's Thrush, when it answered my "whit" call this 
morning. It was in the south east corner on the Villa's property, 
offering an excellent view. Singing WILSONS WARBLER 2, PACIFIC SLOPE 
FLYCATCHER, ASH THROATED FLYCATCHER 2, BULLOCKS ORIOLE, and BLUE GRAY 
GNATCATCHER 2, will probably remain in the park for the summer. WARBLING 
VIREO, ORANGE CROWNED WARBLER, WESTERN WOOD PEWEE 2 (quiet), CASSINS 
VIREO, TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, and WESTERN TANAGER were brought down by 
overnight rain, and may soon depart. Yesterday a singing male LAZULI 
BUNTING was in the meadow. VAUX'S SWIFT were seen each day.

At Quicksilver Co. Park's Mockingbird Hill entrance, I birded for a 
short time while Lee checked his nest boxes. HUTTON'S VIREO, WARBLING 
VIREO, WRENTIT, BLUE GRAY GNATCATCHER, HOUSE WREN, WILSON'S WARBLER AND 
HAIRY WOODPECKER were expected. OLIVE SIDED FLYCATCHER and WESTERN WOOD 
PEWEE were unusual. Both WWPW and the OSFL were seen on the Virl Norton 
trail off the parking lot. A singing LAZULI BUNTING was seen on the New 
Almaden Trail. Lee found a nesting WESTERN BLUEBIRD pair with seven 
nestling's!!

On to Rancho Canada Del Oro for a quick check of our southern most nest 
boxes. Lots of bird song to sort through to find WESTERN WOOD PEWEE, 
BLACK HEADED GROSBEAK,  TOWNSENDS WARBLER, PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 
WILSON'S WARBLER and a quiet YELLOW WARBLER. WHITE THROATED SWIFTS 
overhead and another SWAINSONS THRUSH seen on the road near the parking 
lot.
