[EBB Sightings] Mines Rd - San Antonio Valley Rd

Highlights of a circuit of Mines Road in Alameda County south of 
Livermore, and San Antonio Valley Rd in Santa Clara County east of San 
Jose today:

Mines Rd -

Eurasian Collared Dove (OK, not really a highlight) - 2 - mp 1.3

Phainopepla - 2 - mp 10.45

San Antonio Valley -

Lewis's Woodpecker - 2 - about 1.3 miles south of junction with Del 
Puerto Canyon Rd, mostly on the west side of the road

Wood Duck - 3 - pond about 1.6 miles south of junction

Greater Roadrunner - 1 - about 6 miles south and west of junction (13 
miles east of summit of Mt. Hamilton), where road first climbs out of 
oak-pine habitat into chaparral.

We spent some time searching for Rufous-crowned Sparrow, Sage Sparrow, 
and Lawrence's Goldfinch in places where one might expect to find them, 
but struck out on those.

Good birding.
