Today Matt Brady and I had briefly the WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at the corner
of Spring and High Street after trying for this bird 3 times before. We also
stopped by and saw the TUFTED DUCK at Westlake along with the 2 GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GESSE. It appears that the geese would join the domestic
Greylags except that when they approached to closely one of the Greylags
would chase them off.

Subject: headstart on SCZ 2002 annual list
From: DSUDDJIAN(AT)aol.com
Date: 16 Jan 2002 12:32pm
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
For local birders...
I was getting a headstart on the tally for January to begin the 2002 annual
list for Santa Cruz County. There are still several "regular" species that
have not been specifically reported for January. Maybe you've seen one or
more and can help fill in the gaps, or you might even go look for one or more
of them. Please report dates to me directly, or via MBB if appropriate.
I have no specific reports of these yet this month:
Sooty Shearwater
Short-tailed Shearwater
Black-vented Shearwater
Pelagic Comrorant (an easy one)
Common Merganser
Black Oystercatcher (another easy one)
Wandering Tattler
Whimbrel
Red Phalarope
Burrowing Owl (anyone looking at UCSC?)
Red-breasted Nuthatch
American Dipper
Tricolored Blackbird (north coast areas, city landfill? this one seems to
have disappeared from the Pajaro Valley as zero there this year and last year
on the Moss Landing CBC)

Hello all,
Today I spied 3 WESTERN BLUEBIRDS (2 males, 1 female) on the UCSC
campus, this time closer to the eastern entrance. They were foraging
from the fence line between the upper part of the farm and the lower
part of the lower quarry, by the bike trail.
Cheers,
Tonya

I seem to remember a Roger Wolfe post claiming a huge flock (over 70) of
Black Oystercatchers on the rocks somewhere on the north coast. I saw
Pelagic Cormorants yesterday in SCZ County on my way back from Half Moon
Bay. That takes care of the easy ones.

Yesterday, at a friend's house on White Road, off San Andreas Rd, a Golden
Eagle was circling around the gardens. It may be the same we saw Saturday
with David.
It was great.

I went to Soquel Demonstration State Forest today (1/16). Shady and winter
cool. I found a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE feeding on toyon berries in a clearing
along Hihn's Mill road just west of Braille Trail. A PILEATED WOODPECKER
called from up Long Ridge direction. Not much else of interest birdwise.
Passing through Olive Springs Quarry (no public access) I heard the calls of
the ROCK WREN that I found there on 12/15 (and had detected twice since), so
it is wintering.
Thanks for the replies to my querry for the annual SCZ list. Now Pelagic
Corm, Common Merg, Black Oyster, Whimbrel and Tricolored Bb are spoken for.

Subject: MBB - Goose, Frisco duck
From: Alexander Gaguine <gaguine(AT)cruzio.com>
Date: 16 Jan 2002 4:49pm
There was a distant white goose at Laguna Creek marsh at noon today that I
took to be a Snow Goose because of size.
But what I'm really writing about is that this morning at 9am, Mark Dubois
and I were in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, at the pond at Strybing
Arboretum. There we closely observed, in excellent light, a beautiful,
cooperative small wigeon-like duck that was not in the Nat. Geog. field
guide:
barely longer than a Bufflehead, much smaller than the American Wigeons,
blue/silver/gray bill with a dark spot at the tip,
brownish face with fine dark streaking,
much lighter around the dark eye,
a dark crown stripe that did not reach to the bill, and narrowed at the
upper nape and then widened again at the lower nape, then extended around
toward the throat to an almost complete dark collar,
face was white next to nape and collar stripe,
breast was light pink/flesh color, with dark spotting,
gradually the color lightened and the spots became fewer and paler toward
belly,
vent area white,
bright bubblegum pink legs and feet,
undertail coverts - wide black bar starting on lower flanks (we could not
see if this continued all the way under the bird), then a big white spot on
each side before black undertail,
back was muddy golden brown,
rump and upper tail black,
(and pardon my poor description of wing anatomy - from top to bottom...)
leading edges of folded wings and primaries were muddy golden brown, like back,
bright chestnut wing coverts,
gray (very finely barred) trailing edge of upper wing (those would be the
secondaries, right?), with white and green speculum.
Any ideas? An escaped something? (I phoned it in to N. Cal. Birdbox)

Ringed Teal, a non-migratory South American duck widely held in captivity.

While we don't know how the male got there, someone actually purchased a
female to "keep him company", but she has disappeared.
Cheers,
Mark
