[SBB] Here and There in Mountain View



Folks:

This morning, 5/16/07, I stopped by a few places in my sector for the 
Palo Alto SBC (only 2+ weeks off) to look for lingering or bizarre 
birds.  Mostly I didn't find birds: no White-faced Ibis at the 
Mountain View Forebay as there was yesterday, no Brant (fat or not), 
and no Cackling Goose.  Not that they are not around, I just didn't 
find them.  The Shoreline Lake infirmary seems to be down to two male 
and a female SURF SCOTER this summer.  I had one GREEN HERON along 
the north shore, but no proof of nesting as in past years.  A 
SWAINSON'S THRUSH called from the shrubbery.

I then walked along the east side of Stevens Creek between Crittenden 
Lane and Hwy 101 to look for migrants.  I found a single WESTERN 
WOOD-PEWEE, two WARBLING VIREOS, a calling SWAINSON'S THRUSH, a 
YELLOW WARBER, and 3 WILSON'S WARBLERS.  The only songster was one of 
the Warbling Vireos.  Here, there was another GREEN HERON.
