[SBB] Backyard migrants and $3000 SFBBO Challenge

[Matthew Dodder <[[email protected]]>]

All,

This morning I was pleased to find three migrants in
our Mountain View back yard.  My guess they were
moving toward the Stevens Creek trail, which is just a
few blocks from our home. A YELLOW WARBLER stopped by
briefly, touching the upper branches of a redwood
before moving on. There was also a very vocal WESTERN
TANAGER, as well as a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK. All three
birds were in our yard at about 7:15, visible from the
upstairs windows, but only for a moment before they
continued their journey...

REMINDER:
I'd also like to remind everyone that my team, "The
DeDUCKtions", will be venturing out on Saturday,
September 29 as part of the SFBBO Fall Challenge. The
goal is to raise money for the organization and its
research/conservation efforts. Our team has been
offered a $3000 Challenge Grant from Leonie Batkin.
That means that for every dollar our team raises, she
will match it up to a total of $3000! Your
contributions will essentially be DOUBLED until we
meet our initial goal of 3K. We can only get th total
amount however, if we all do our part. So please
consider joining our team for a full day of birding in
Santa Clara County. You can sponsor s with a flat
donation, or a per-species amount. Details of our
itinerary will become available soon and if you are
interested, please contact SFBBO to let them know we
can count on your help.
