I estimated 500-600 AM. WHITE PELICANS, 5 immature or subadult BROWN PELICANS, 25 GREAT EGRETS, 55 SNOWY EGRETS, and 1100-1300 CALIFORNIA GULLS. There were many juvenile gulls present. FORSTER'S TERNS were also feeding in the group, but were the usual 100 or so bird nesting on the island. The salt ponds held additional numbers of egrets which I didn't estimate. From Renzel to Salt Pond A2W, I estimated another 200-300 Am. White Pelicans. Numerous VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS have dispersed from the foothills and are feeding with the Cliff Swallow flocks.

The flock consisted of both adults and juveniles. It was interesting to watch them delicately feeding from the surface in shallow swoops and occasionally diving for food (even at that it seemed as though they hardly broke the surface tension of the water). Earlier, in the morning, we had gone to Ravenswood OSP where we eventually managed to get a fairly good view of at least one breeding plumaged Red Knot (we should have been there a couple days earlier as the tide was already well out). After that we managed to locate a single CLAPPER RAIL in "Clapper Creek" near the boardwalk north of the Palo Alto Baylands Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center (a year bird for me).
