DECEMBER 2006We finished up the year for Santa Clara County with 288 species. This ties the high count for the previous 6 years that I've analyzed. (But during the 1990s, we had three counts over 300 birds including 304 in 1997.) Three species were new for the year: Slaty-backed Gull in January, Little Stint in July, and Zone-tailed Hawk in November. Two other species have been added to the list: Iceland Gull based on a record in 2005 that has been accepted by the California Bird Records Committee and Eurasian Collared-Dove based on about a half dozen records away from the San Martin released birds. That brings the total to 394, which is not bad for a quasi-inland county.
But we missed three 4s in 2006: Mountain Quail, Red-throated Loon, and White-faced Ibis. I'm not ready to move these into the 5s, but maybe that's where they belong.
Speaking of Eurasian Collared-Doves, Mike Rogers pointed out that I overlooked a May record of a bird away from San Martin, so that ups the tallies for May and all subsequent months by one species.
December was a very good month with 5 new birds where we normally get only 3. There was only one 4, a SHORT-EARED OWL in the vicinity of Byxbee Park and the Palo Alto FCB and first seen on 6 Dec. This bird was seen by many through the end of the month and into the new year and on a few occasions two birds were seen, which was nice.
We had two 5s in December. The first was a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK over the Coyote Creek GC on 9 Dec; it was not found again. The second 5 was a BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER wintering in Upper Penitencia Creek Park and first seen on the San Jose CBC on 17 Dec. This bird has been seen, photographed, and enjoyed by many into the new year.
We also had two 6s. A PLUMBEOUS VIREO was seen along the Guadalupe River in downtown San Jose in an area not often birded. At least 2 PELAGIC CORMORANTS were found in Salt Pond A2W on the Palo Alto CBC on 18 Dec. One bird was seen here into the new year.
