Yes, writing them out eases SBBers' perplexity. But the SIX-letter code
avoids almost the all the "collisions" -- coinciding code-names -- that
afflict the four-letter system. In this case, Bank Swallow = BANSWA and
Barn Swallow = BARSWA. Even better, most of the six-letter code names can
actually be pronounced -- yelled as the bird flies by, even. "M'gosh --
it's a BANSWA!"

At 7:15am this morning, Pat Kenny and I saw the PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER at the
same spot it was seen last night. The bird was on the far side of the nearest
pond east of the tracks, about 200 yds up from the EEC entrance road.
The underwing and axillaries were a mostly uniform gray. When in flight, the
rump and upper tail were brown; there was no noticable wingstripe, coloration
of upperparts a warm brown. The face shows a poorly defined whitish patch
below the eye and forward on the face. The bird is molting towards basic
plumage and has no solid black. The underparts and flanks, from wing to wing
in the perched bird, seemly blotchy black, white, and gray, with somewhat
blacker parts a ways down from each wing (but not extending across the belly).
The blotchy underparts extend well behind the legs, nearly all the way out the
tail. When the underside of the tail is seen from the rear as the bird dips
forward, the blotchiness is outlined by a relatively pure white band. The
primaries extended only slightly past the tail, the tail a little further past
the tertials. With a grain of salt: I could make out only a single primary
feather edge between tertials and tip of primaries; I assume the two longest
primaries were indistinguishable.
About 9am a NORTHERN HARRIER scattered all the shorebirds, the bulk of whom
went west of the tracks towards State and Spreckels, including a RUFF that I
saw land. We lost the GOLDEN-PLOVER in all the confusion.
Other birds: PECTORAL SANDPIPER in the ditch along the EEC entrance road
before the tracks, both PHALAROPES, both YELLOWLEGS.

This morning, 2 Sep 02, I started out at the CCFS, where Mike Rogers, Linda
Sullivan, and Peggy Don were already knee deep in warblers and flycatchers.
Mike will provide a summary of their sightings, as I was generally birding
away from them. I did have 5 WILLOW FLYCATCHERS, 3 BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, a
WESTERN TANAGER, a handful of YELLOW WARBLERS, a couple WILSON'S WARBLERS,
and I heard a couple chip notes from a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER that Mike had
glimpsed earlier. A recently fledged LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was accompanied by an
adult, and 2 CASPIAN TERNS flew over.
We all then headed for New Chicago Marsh, where the molting adult PACIFIC
GOLDEN-PLOVER was still present in the pond east of the railroad tracks. The
primary projection is very short on this bird. As Roland noted, the 2
longest primaries are nearly equal in length and are the only ones
projecting beyond the tertials. This is easiest to see on the bird's left
side, as the longest tertial on the right side may have molted out (in any
case, there is an asymmetry there). The wings extend just a smidge beyond
the end of the tail. Also present were the RUFF and STILT SANDPIPER, in the
pond at State and Spreckles, and 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS in the channel along
the entrance road.

All,
Linda Sullivan, Peggy Don, and I started out at CCFS at 6:30am this
morning, hoping for newly arrived migrants. We were treated to quite
a show of birds in the eucalyptus by the trailer, although things
quieted down rather quickly as it warmed up. Almost the first bird we
heard was a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER in the brush just towards the creek
from the eucalyptus. Pishing induced it to show itself only briefly
(a fairly drab hatching year bird) and unfortunately Linda and Peggy
missed the brief look. Mike Mammoser later heard the bird from the
same area but also failed to get a peek at it. Other birds included:
2 BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRDS (both apparent hatch-year birds
chasing each other around)
1 WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE
9+ WILLOW FLYCATCHERS
18+ "WESTERN" FLYCATCHERS, about 1/2 PACIFIC-SLOPE by call.
1 CASSIN'S VIREO
2 WARBLING VIREOS
1 HOUSE WREN
2 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS (1 freshly banded)
12+ YELLOW WARBLERS
3+ WILSON'S WARBLERS
4+ WESTERN TANAGERS
2 BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS
We also had the LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES and CASPIAN TERNS reported by Mike
Mammoser and a Gray Fox.
Later we all headed over to New Chicago Marsh and with a crowd of
birders saw the adult PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER, the female RUFF, the
STILT SANDPIPER, 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, 92+ WILSON'S and 5+ RED-NECKED
PHALAROPES, and 6+ LESSER YELLOWLEGS. Hearing that 3 BANK SWALLOWS
had been seen near SFBBO earlier in the morning, we headed over there
and had six species of swallows on the wires: many molting BARN
SWALLOWS, about 15 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS, 4 immature TREE SWALLOWS, 3
immature CLIFF SWALLOWS, 2 NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS (1 immature,
1 adult), and an apparent adult BANK SWALLOW (no pale edgings one the
coverts).

All,
I birded the Alviso area today and a brief stop at the intersection of
State Street and Sprekles Street produced the STILT SANDPIPER and RUFF,
which Al Eisner and I felt was an adult female (REEVE). Both birds were
easily found and allowed extended views.
The Reeve had a rather short, slightly drooped, black bill with much
white at the base. The upperparts were warm grayish with much less
scaling than seen on immatures. The legs were fairly bright orange. It
appeared longer-legged and more slender than the nearby Dowitchers. It
had quite a bit of buffiness on its breast.
The Stilt Sandpiper was a more pale gray and somewhat streaked on the
upperparts and flanks, again, longer-legged and more slender than the
Dowitchers with a delicate, slightly dropped bill and an obvious white
supercilium. Its legs were pale greenish.
As well, the intersection had great numbers of WILSON'S PHALAROPES,
spin-feeding in the shallows. Near the entrance gate to the EEC, an
adult PEREGRINE FALCON (thanks Al!) perched on the power towers.

All,
This afternoon, based on a call from Mike Mammoser, Frank Vanslager and I
refound the mostly breeding plumaged female PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER in New
Chicago Marsh in the first pond northwest of the EEC entrance road and east
of the railroad tracks. We also had a PECTORAL SANDPIPER on the marsh side
of the entrance road about 100-150 feet from the entrance gate (didn't try to
age or sex it). The basic plumaged REEVE was fairly easily found in the pond
at State & Spreckles but an extensive search failed to turn up the Stilt
Sandpiper (seen earlier by Al Eisner).
Take care,
Bob Reiling, 4:40 PM, 9/2/02

About 6 months ago, I ID'd a Sharpie. Today, my wife saw a probable
juvenile Sharpie. Something in common between both observations was a tail
waggle of the perching bird. My question:
I did notice a feature I hadn't noticed before-a tail waggle,
left-right-left. (Or was it
Right-left-right) Pause. Then another tail waggle.
Is this a hawk characteristic, an accipiter characteristic, or a
Sharpie-only characteristic?
