[SBB] Yellow rumped Warbler, Cedar Waxwings

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

Many Common Yellowthroat's were giving contact calls and a three seen 
early this morning at the water district. Unfortunately someone was 
spraying an herbicide and scattering dry bait around the building, which 
was irritating, so I left soon after. The SPOTTED SANDPIPER and seven 
VAUX'S SWIFTS were seen here. A large turtle was slowly making his way 
up the spillway, when whoosh back down he went.

On the Guadalupe River Channel across from the water district, I found 
an immature WHITE CROWNED SPARROW associating with Song Sparrows. I met 
Larry Spivek and we watched  Yellow Warblers and our first fall YELLOW 
RUMPED WARBLER in the eucalyptus trees. Several juv. Hooded Orioles were 
eating fruit from the holly leaf cherry bushes.

Around noon I returned to Lake Almaden. As much as that place irritates 
me, I  often find some good birds there. An immature WILLOW FLYCATCHER 
was seen on the west bank of the creek south of the pedestrian bridge. A 
WARBLING VIREO and three WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, one an immature, were found 
near the picnic area. At least a dozen YELLOW WARBLERS, including 
several males with red streaking, were seen throughout the property. A 
small flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS flew into a sycamore, one was immature 
with streaked undersides. Many Nutmeg Mannikin's some with young, were 
seen and heard today.
I won't go into the irritating part.
