DECEMBER 2011
A remarkable ending to the year! The 2011 list, as of August, matched the long-term average. But September was very good, 14 species instead of the usual 10. October was normal, but both November and December provided 6 new species instead of the expected 3. We wound up with 293, the highest count since I took over this list from Mike Rogers in 2000. The previous highs were 289 in both 2006 and 2007. (There were higher counts in the 1990s, however.)
A late report of a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE, seen briefly over Mt. Umunhum on 29 Nov, brought the composite list to 287 for November.
For December, the only 4 was the presence of two STILT SANDPIPERS in Pond A12, first seen on 18 Dec on the San Jose CBC. These have remained into January and constitute our first December and January records.
The single 5 was an adult female YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER along San Francisquito Creek on 2 Dec. This is the third year she has wintered across the creek in Menlo Park, but occasionally she goes slumming into Santa Clara County.
The first of the four 6's was an adult HARRIS'S SPARROW that showed up in a Campbell yard (and is still there as I write this). The remaining 6's were all found on the San Jose CBC on 18 Dec! An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was found on closed refuge ponds, an EASTERN PHOEBE was seen along the Guadalupe River near Hedding Street, and a MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD was on the Sierra Road summit. None of these three was ever seen again.
Good luck in 2012.
