They seemed to be especially interested in my neighbors Fig tree (green colored fruit is ripe) and their newly trimmed Split-leaf Palm tree.

A vine with purple flowers that grows on a neighbor's tree seems to be attracting the bird. So far, I have only seen a single bird. Anna's hummingbirds also like these flowers.

Highlights included: - 2 BLACK SKIMMERS adjacent to a CASPIAN TERN on Black Skimmer Island, making for a nice size comparison - Dozens of AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS on the shores of Adobe Creek - At first glance, Coast Casey Forebay had one AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN as a centerpiece surrounded by dozens of MALLARDS and a couple of YELLOWLEGS. A second glance was cause for excitement: an adult COMMON MOORHEN with 2 juveniles (I've finally seen a juvenile!!!), and a pair of NORTHERN PINTAILS. There were 5 SNOWY EGRETS lined up in front of the reeds. - A gang of 8 PIED-BILLED GREBES congregated near the pier at Shoreline Lake. I don't think I've ever seen so many together before. Adult and juvenile FORSTER'S TERNS flew overhead looking for dinner. We also saw SURF SCOTERS, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, a nearby WILLET and GREAT EGRET. The descending sun provided vibrant colors, especially on the lime-ish green legs of the COMMON MOORHEN.

Lotta birds here -- very nice. The juv. COMMON TERN and the 2 juv. BLACK TERNS gave me very good views in the place previously reported -- the dike b/w the 2 main ponds. Also in the vic. were 7 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES, 21 WILSON'S, & 3 BONAPARTE'S GULLS. At State & Spreckles in Alviso I failed to find anything notable like Ruff or Stilt Sand., but had a nice enough time anyway, with 2 LESSER YELLOWLEGS and 3 BURROWING OWLS being the highlights.
