Hello birders. A TENNESSEE WARBLER was seen yesterday (1/9) in the area
between Towne, Chrystal, and Rincon streets in central Santa Cruz.  This was
the third time it was seen in the past five days.  This is the same location
where the BLACK THROATED BLUE WARBLER  is still being seen (first seen
11/28/01).   There was also a pure YELLOW SHAFTED FLICKER in the area (1/9).

On UCSC campus today, at College Eight in front of the "West Field House"
gym there was a tan morph WHITE THROATED SPARROW feeding with a small flock
in the little grass patch next to the two picnic tables.

These phone reports were received of birds seen today (1/10):

Gerry Thomas gave a nice description of a female YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER 
seen along the San Lorenzo River at the Rincon Trail. It was seen along the 
west side of the river where the Rincon trail meets the Diversion Dam trail 
going off to the left. Rincon Trail (aka Rincon Fire Road) is accessed off 
Hwy 9 out of Santa Cruz after Hwy 9 crosses the RR tracks.

A report from Chris Emmons from Rancho Del Oso included 7 EVENING GROSBEAKS 
in the riparian of Waddell Creek at "Swing Hill" on the Skyline-to-the-Sea 
Trail and two PILEATED WOODPECKERS heard near the trail about 3 miles in from 
Hwy 1. A HERMIT WARBLER was along the trail in the pines a short ways past 
the ranger station and corral area.
