-----------------
On Sept 11, a female AMERICAN REDSTART and the LEAST FLYCATCHER were
seen at the East Wash in Lincoln Park. The redstart was in the willows
at the bottom of the "bowl", while the flycatcher was at the bottom of
the "bowl". A CLAY-COLORED SPARROW was seen by Michelle Brodie behind
the bathroom in some lupine on the plateau between the Legion of Honor

On Sept 11, adult male RED-FACED WARBLER was seen at Del Valle Regional
Park. The bird associating with a mixed flock of western migrants and
resident birds. The bird was well seen for 15 minutes, sometimes within
10 yards, as it actively chased insects. The location was on the south-
west side of the lake. From the north parking lot a "Nature Trail" goes
west up a hill and then across a open area. I found the bird as I
started down a hill to the trail to the Oholone Wilderness.
