[SBB] Eurasian Collared Dove, MacGillivrays Warbler

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

I birded at  Almaden Lake around 10:30 am. today, Sept. 4th.
As I walked along the Alamitos Creek trail south of the lake, a whitish 
dove flew into the top of a Sycamore Tree on the west side of the creek. 
This dove was larger and lighter than nearby doves and had a black mark 
on the back of its neck. It was a EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE, the first I've 
seen in Almaden Valley. I walked across the pedestrian bridge to get 
closer to the bird and flushed another ECDO.

A short time later I heard a loud dry chip call from the creek bank and 
found a MACGILLIVRAYS WARBLER foraging low in some willow trees. It was 
brighter than the MGWA seen on the Guadalupe River Trail last week. Both 
species were seen a few yards south of the pedestrian bridge from the 
trail on the east side of the creek.
