It run on the west side of 880 from the end of Fremont Blvd. on the south side up to Cushing on the north and extends west to the channel/river that is there. At the north and south ends, there is some 'open space' (at the south end it's the old Fremont airport, now under early construction phases) that we were able to drive and walk around. The rest of the area is office space that runs between 880 and the river/channel. Highlights: 15 Wilson's Snipe in the channel along 880 and Lakeview/Fremont 1 Red-shouldered Hawk, same location 1 Spotted Sandpiper, same location 1 Prairie and 1 Peregrine Falcon at the north end of our range (actually, probably into Area 4 on the Count) 1 Loggerhead Shrike (may have been in Area 4) Other birds of which there were few, we have no idea if these are unusual for the area, many of these from the office/industrial area: 1 Double-crested Cormorant 1 female Bufflehead 2 White-tailed Kites 9+ Turkey Vultures (we found their roost in the industrial area and an area of beach they seem to use) 1 Say's Phoebe 2 by-crowned Kinglets 1 Northern Flicker 2 Downy and 1 Nuttall's Woodpeckers many Yellow-rumped Warblers 1 Lincoln's Sparrow In total we saw 62 species.
