SUMMER TANAGER
 
Yesterday, 14 Sept. about 10:45 AM in Danville, along the Las Trampas Creek  
riparian habitat a SUMMER  TANAGER was heard in full song from north of the  
Hap Magee Ranch Park trail bridge to Camille Ave.(this is also the Las Trampas  
to Mt. Diablo EBRPD Trail). Near here were also two flocks of (FOS) Cedar  
Waxwings, some still hawking flying insects.
At the El Portal Rd. bridge,  also over Las Trampas Creek, (on the north 
side) were a pair of Wood Ducks. Here  also were 1 to 2 Yellow Warblers. Two small 
flocks of about 12 Band-tailed  Pigeons flew upstream (south). This City Park 
can be reached from Danville  Blvd., near the Alamo/Danville border, take El 
Portal Rd., then left  on La Gonda to the Park entrance.  The trail is at the 
back, west side of  this small Park. The creek riparian access is also along 
the West side of  the Canine Park section.  
 
Day before yesterday, 13 Sept. near Moraga (from the EBMUD Valle Vista  
Trails Staging area off Canyon Rd.), about 20 Wood Ducks were on or flying over  
the Upper San Leandro Reservoir. Also at the lake were 1 Am. White Pelican, a  
Double-crested Cormorant, and Greater Yellowlegs to name a few. These could be  
seen along the Rimer Creek Trail.  Also here were 4 Wild Turkey hens,  
foraging along the reservoir edge; and among the 4 kinds of woodpeckers was  heard 
an Hairy Woodpecker.
 
Happy birding,
Phil Gordon
Hayward, ALA  Co.
