SOUTH BAY BIRDERS UNLIMITED
2013
APRIL 2013We finished April with 253 species, a new record! Although the number of new species was down one from the average of our long-term record, this is still a blistering pace. We'll see if we can top it in May.
The 2's, fairly common birds, were well represented in April, although there were a couple of surprises. RED-NECKED PHALAROPES were found on Pond A12 on 2 Apr. They are uncommon in their spring migration, and are missed in some years. A LAZULI BUNTING at Rancho San Antonio OSP on 6 Apr was a fairly typical arrival date, but the SWAINSON'S THRUSH banded at the Coyote Creek Field Station on 14 Apr was early. The biggest surprise was a single spring WILSON'S PHALAROPE in the impoundment north of the Alviso Marina CP on 17 Apr, we find them in April in about one year in ten. The last of the 2's was a WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE at the Stevens Creek CP on 19 Apr.
We found two of the 3's this month. An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was seen at Lake Ranch Reservoir on 11 Apr, another typical arrival date. A VAUX'S SWIFT over an Almaden Valley yard on 4/13 was also a typical arrival date.
There were six 4's during the month. A NASHVILLE WARBLER was found on 7 Apr at Stevens Creek CP. A male BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD was seen at Kelly Park on 19 Apr. Single WHITE-FACED IBISES were found at the Alviso EEC and the Alviso Marina CP on 24 Apr, likely the same bird. On 26 Apr a CANYON WREN was seen in Henry Coe SP, and a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER was enjoyed at Rancho San Antonio OSP. The 4's were wrapped up with a SY BLUE GROSBEAK along the Pajaro River below Hwy 101 on 27 Apr.
There were also six 5's in April. The first was a HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER in a Los Altos Hills yard on 1 Apr (no foolin'). Two CASSIN'S KINGBIRDS were discovered on 3 Apr at their usual location on San Felipe Road near the south border of the county. The first of three SOLITARY SANDPIPERS for the month was one on Thompson Creek on 14 Apr. 26 Apr brought the discovery of two 5's: a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT at the South County Regional Waste Water Authority (Gilroy) treatment ponds and multiple YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS at the Sunnyvale WPCP. A CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD at Ed Levin CP on 27 Apr finished the month.
The only 6 was a BLACK TURNSTONE in New Chicago Marsh on 17 Apr, only our third spring record.
