[SBB] Willow Flycatcher

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

Ann Verdi and I tried unsuccessfully to find the MacGillivrays Warbler 
and Eurasian Collared Dove near Lake Almaden this afternoon. We did see 
a beautiful 1st year Willow Flycatcher on the west side of the lake 
behind the Almaden Nursery. The juv. Common Moorhen was seen swimming in 
the lake for the first time. On previous visits it was always walking 
around the small island near the creek outlet to the lake. As we walked 
back to our cars I heard a selasphorus hummingbird and spotted a f. 
hummingbird at a purple flowering Budlea. It had quiet a bit of orange 
on its back and buffy sides. Many butterflies were visiting the row of 
Budlea bushes lining the road to the golf course on the east side of the 
Alamitos Creek trail.

A begging Lesser Goldfinch was fed by an adult, and juvenile Cal. Towhee 
begging from a nearby adult in an Elderberry bush. A pair of Wrentits 
were in the same Elderberry bush near Crossview Ct.  Nutmeg Mannikin 
calls were heard all along this short stretch of the Los Alamitos Creek 
trail between Almaden Lake and Crossview Ct. and several mannikins were 
seen. Five Yellow Warblers were also seen and possible Western Tanager 
heard.
