| All, This morning Eric Goodill, Ashutosh Sinha and I bicycled along the Stevens Creek trail. We bumped into Peggy Don on the east channel of the creek in the area where Mike Rogers had yesterday reported the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH. Peggy had seen it briefly this morning before we arrived and within a short time we all saw it again. It called loudly and was very easy to locate by sound sound alone, but harder to get a good look at. WILSON'S WARBLER was also present. Another birder (Arlan?) said he had relocated the MacGillivray's Warbler near the lone eucalyptus, but we didn't pursue it. After an hour out at the creek mouth in a fruitless search for Red Knot (wrong tide...) we returned via the Charleston Marsh. We heard a loud "tink!" call near par course 17 (leg stretch) and sure enough with a bit of coaching a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH came into view and moved actively among the lower branches and reeds. Of course, there's no guarantee that this is a second Waterthrush but if anyone can confirm that the "lone eucalyptus" bird was present at 11:30 am then the bird at Charleston would certainly be a different bird.
