DECEMBER 2008
We finished up 2008 with 286 species on the composite list, 1 more than our long-term average. We found 3 new species in December, which is the same as we usually fine. This sounds normal, but it was in reality a cliffhanger. Midway through the month, an EASTERN PHOEBE (a "6") was discovered at Lake Cunningham on the San Jose CBC on 14 Dec. Despite the large number of people we have out counting birds for our local CBCs, this was the only new species found. Then, as the year's clock wound down, day after day, no new birds were found. Then, on 30 Dec, two urban yards in San Jose provided new birds: a HY CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (a "6") and a HY female ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK (a "5"). Phew. All three of our December birds have remained into the new year to give us a good start on 2009, although only the Eastern Phoebe has been accessible.

We wound up the year missing three "4's" Mountain Quail, Purple Martin, and Black-chinned Sparrow. My definition of a "4" is that it is a rare bird that someone will find somewhere in the county at least once during the year. There are quite a few birds in this category that we do occasionally miss, so I'm reluctant to change their status until we see this repeated for a number of years. Mountain Quail may well be extripated. Many of us suspect that although this is a known historical species, the few observations we have from recent years may have more to do with a aviary escapees than with a remnant population, but . . . Purple Martins may be on their way out, although we usually find at least one on migration. The Black-chinned Sparrow is famed for the variability of its nesting populations, so maybe 2009 will be better.
