I arrived at 9am and was disappointed to see ZERO geese of any species. But lo and behold, at 9:15am, in flew 60 CANADA GEESE followed by 5 ROSS'S GEESE. From the east or from Bailey Rd, whichever direction that is. (Ann saw 6 Ross's Geese later today, and Bill Bousman had seen 6 on Nov. 28.) I did find one of Ann's HOODED MERGANSERS. It had a rusty crest and white stripes on its back. Its crest was well up and it was pursuing a female Bufflehead, diving when the Bufflehead did. Ms. Bufflehead seemed pretty indifferent. Ah, the trials of unrequited love! Did not find the Rock Wren (my 2nd or 3rd attempt.) Did find 2 WILSON'S SNIPES feeding in the stream behind the big rock formation [next to the trail near the stable]. Also saw 2 SAY'S PHOEBES, who managed to rid their territory of a Spotted Sandpiper.

Calero Reservoir: A total of six ROSS'S GEESE were at Calero on Sunday, Dec 1. Not much else to report at this time. My six-year-old grandson has decided to become a birder, so we checked out some of my favorite locales near home over the weekend. At Almaden Lake on Saturday, Nov 30, we saw an OSPREY circling the lake, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER on a boat dock, two WESTERN GREBES in the water, and good numbers of CEDAR WAXINGS, WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, AMERICAN GOLDFINCH, and AMERICAN ROBINS. At the SCVWD ponds we saw 22 RING-NECKED DUCKS, and at Almaden Reservoir we found over 30 WOOD DUCKS. We had fun.
