DECEMBER 2009
We added three more species in December (our average increment), and finished 2009 with a total of 274 species. We beat out our all-time low of 273 species (in 2003) by one. Our average for recent years is 284 species, so we were well short.
Two of the December species were 5's. An immature TUNDRA SWAN was seen on Lake Cunningham on 23 Dec. As is typical of Tundra Swans in the county, they do not stay long, and this one departed within a few minutes of the observation. The next day, 24 Dec, a PACIFIC LOON was seen in Pond A16. It was not found again.
The one 6 for the month was a female YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, found initially in San Mateo Count along Creek Drive in Menlo Park. But on 3 Dec, a number of observers saw the bird move across the creek, and work in some of the trees on the Santa Clara side.
Happy New Year, and let's hope we do better in 2010!
