[SBB] Tennessee Warbler at Sunnyvale Baylands

This morning 10/11/2007 I saw a TENNESSEE WARBLER in the double row of cottonwood trees in Sunnyvale Baylands Park. I saw the warbler in the eastern section working its way west through the tops of the trees where it disappeared around 9:30. The bird had light underparts contrasting with a greenish back. The breast was light yellow and the belly and undertail were white. The bird was very clean with no streaking on the underparts. Bob Reiling and Peggy Don arrived, and our searching finally paid off when we found the bird in the eastern section of the cottonwoods about 11:30. Again, it disappeared after moving through the trees and we were not able to refind it.

In general, warbler activity was fairly good at the park this morning. Lots of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, of course, but also an adult male BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, several YELLOW WARBLERS, and several ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS.
