[EBB Sightings] RE: Willow Flycatcher & other migrants CC Co., Thur., 7 Sept.2006

Greetings EBBirders,
 
This report for Hap Magee Ranch City Park, Danville & Lafayette/Moraga  EBRPD 
Trail, Walnut Creek includes:
        
        Wood Duck
        Red-shouldered Hawk
        Band-tailed Pigeon
        Belted Kingfisher
        WILLOW FLYCATCHER
        Warbling Vireo
        Yellow Warbler
        Black-throated Gray  Warbler
        Western Tanager
        
 Yesterday, 7 Sept.'06, ca.10 AM, while directing the Acalanes  Adult Ed. 
Flatlanders Walking Class, we came across a female BGWa with  Chestnut-backed 
Chickadees along the Lafayette/Moraga RP Trail (ca. 500  yds. west of Relieze 
Station Rd. X Olympic Bl.).  Further east along  the Trail, ca. 200 yds., we 
flushed a WoDu from Las Trampas Ck. Note  this Trail will be closed for renovation 
next week.
 
Later, ca. Noon, at Hap Magee Ranch Park (Cities of Alamo &  Danville, west 
of SR680,
off the north end of La Gonda Way from El Portal or El Cerro Bl.) from  the 
bridge over Las Trampas Ck. (leading to Camille Ave.) I saw a Willow  
Flycatcher foraging from small saplings along side the creek.  Here was a  BeKi, WaVi, 
3 YeWa, WeTa, RSHa, and a single flyover BTPi.  
In all 25 spp.were recorded from 9AM - 12:30PM. Great to see  passerine 
migrants passing through.
 
Happy Birding,
Phil E. Gordon
Hayward, ALA Co.
