There were 11 WESTERN GREBES and 1 CLARK'S GREBE in the area at the base of the dam, which isn't visible from the boat launch. Also, an adult PEREGRINE FALCON was perched in a tree at the western end of the reservoir. Before the dam there was a small cove with a muddy track passing it on the far side, which seemed like the spot Mark Jenkins had mentioned in his email. Here, I flushed a SPOTTED SANDPIPER from the shore, which flew out and landed on a log about 20 feet away from shore, where it bobbed at me for a couple minutes. I presume that this is the bird Mark had, rather than a tattler. On Tuesday, 24 Dec 02, I hiked out to the mouth of Stevens Creek. Unfortunately, the tide had already covered the mud and the place was devoid of shorebirds. So, I scanned the rafts of SCAUP for anything unusual. Nothing other than a few small flocks of CANVASBACKS, some scattered SURF SCOTERS, and dribs and drabs of other common duck species. A check of salt pond A2W produced 28 BROWN PELICANS and 87 FORSTER'S TERNS - good numbers for this time of year.
