December 2011

Three new species arrived in San Mateo County during the month of December. The first was the discovery of a HARRIS'S SPARROW at the now famous "Brussels Sprout Dump" at the Cascade Ranch near Ano Nuevo by Ron Thorn, Leonie Batkin, and Michael Scott on 12/11/11. This bird remained throughout the month and was highly photographed and observed by many. It cooperated long enough to be counted during the Ano Nuevo Christmas Bird Count on 12/31/11. The brussels sprout dump along Cascade Creek is a magnet for many warblers and sparrows, and was also the location for the discovery of the year's only VESPER SPARROW sighting on 12/23/11 by Kent Johnson, who was there chasing the Harris's Sparrow.

The only other new sighting was observation of three SHORT-EARED OWLS at Wavecrest by Jennifer Rycenga and Gary Deghi on 12/17/11 during the Crystal Springs CBC. Short-eared Owl has become increasingly difficult to find in the County, so the presence of three for the CBC was especially exciting.

The addition of 3 new species for month of December brings our total to 334 species observed in the County for the year. That is one less than our 2009 total of 335 species.

If you have seen any birds not recorded on the list, please email me at Geodani55@yahoo.com.  I will look forward to hearing about all of your new sightings and encourage you to post all notable sightings to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peninsula-birding/ or www.eBird.org.  

Good Birding,
George Chrisman
