[SBB] Spizella Sparrows (Palo Alto Baylands)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 10/8/07, I stopped by the Palo Alto Baylands and birded 
the ranger station, fennel patch, and vicinity.  Birds seemed flighty 
under the overcast, but were feeding actively in the fennel.  I had a 
brief look at a CHIPPING SPARROW, likely an adult.  Later, I found a 
fairly dull CLAY-COLORED SPARROW with little in the way of buff on 
its breast.  This is likely a different bird than Peter Metropulos 
found on Saturday.  Lingering migrants included a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, 
2 YELLOW WARBLERS, and at least 6 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS in the 
fennel.  I saw my first MYRTLE WARBLER of the season, an immature.  A 
PEREGRINE FALCON flew over and perched on a tower for a while.
