ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK was in the area too. The VESPER SPARROW was
present at the west end of "Concrete Bridge" at the south end of

south of the bridge or in the bare ground just beyond the multiple
little flagged area, by a brown paper bag. While looking for the
BLACKPOLL WARBLER that was found by Dan Murphy, a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER
was found at Fort Miley.(Hugh Cotter)
On Sept 17, an ORCHARD ORIOLE and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK were found in
the red flowering eucalyptus tree at Upton and Ralston in the Presidio.

On Sept 17, the PHILADELPHIA VIREO was re-found at the east of the
"Concrete Bridge" at the south end of Lake Merced, in the company
of a Warbling Vireo and Wilson's Warbler. There was also
a WILLOW FLYCATCHER present. (John Luther)
On Sept 16, a PHILADELPHIA VIREO was seen on the south side of the
"Concrete Bridge" at the south end of Lake Merced. A VESPER SPARROW
was at the west end of the bridge. (Adam Winer)
Sonoma Co.
----------
On Sept 17, a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO was perched on a limb in the
eucalyptus grove between Owl Canyon and the Marine Lab entrance. This
is where the Great-Horned Owls usual hang out. It was beyond the
Bodega Bay sign, below the conifer. (Les Lieurance)
Mendocino Co.
-------------
On Sept 17, in addition to the YELLOW WAGTAIL, which was last seen at
500pm, a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER and BLACKPOLL WARBLER were seen at
Wages Creek along Hwy 1, north of Westport. South of Westport, a
RED-EYED VIREO was found by Ron LaValley and Charlene McAllister at
place locally called Chadburn Gulch, along Hwy 1.(Jerry White)
On Sept 17, a YELLOW WAGTAIL was re-found again this morning by Dorthy
Tobkin at Virgin Creek Beach. The bird is found usual between the bridge
and the beach. (Ron LaValley)
>From e-mail by George Chariot
To reach this area drive north from Fort Bragg on Hwy 1. About 3/4
mi. north of the Pudding Creek bridge there is a North-O-Town industrial
park sign, and shortly beyond that is a dusty parking area on the east
side of the road with the sign "Granite Construction Company".
Park here, cross the highway, follow a sandy trail to the paved
"haul road", turn right (north) on the pavement, and in about 200 yards
you come to the small bridge over Virgin Creek. The wagtail was seen
today in the area that you can see west from the bridge.
San Mateo Co.
-------------
On Sept 17, a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER was found along Gazos Creek Road,
at the second pull out about 1.2 miles west of Highway 1. In the town
of San Gregorio at the end of Seaside School Road, a hatch-year
BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER was with a Townsend's Warbler in the Red Alders
along San Gregorio Creek. (Ron Thorn)
