Folks:

      Yesterday afternoon, 6/18/2002, I found three GREATER YELLOWLEGS and a 
single LESSER YELLOWLEGS in the Mountain View Forebay (there was a single 
Greater there in the morning).  As best I could tell, all of the Greater 
Yellowlegs were in alternate plumage, showing dark barring along their sides 
and breast.  Their upper parts were a gray-black with white spots, as expected 
for alternate birds.  The Lesser Yellowlegs, however, showed no barring on the 
sides and the breast was only lightly streaked.  In contrast to the the 
Greaters, the upperparts, particularly the back, scapulars, and wing coverts 
were a faded brown-gray, which suggests a bird in basic plumage that never 
molted to alternate plumage.  Normally, first returning adults (in alternate 
plumage) are found in the first two weeks of July.

      The small island in the SE corner of Salt Pond A1 included a male and 
female BLACK SKIMMER, as well as multiple flags from SFBBO and downy FORSTER'S 
TERN young.  The male was agressive to nearby birds, but the female appeared 
asleep.

Good Evening All...

Today Peggy Don and I went over to the CCFS to watch a bird banding demo 
(they banded three fledgling Bewick's Wren and recaptured an adult Female 
Bullock's Oriole, Bewick's Wren and a Downy Woodpecker) and when we were done 
around 9:05 AM we went to see if we could find the Blue Grosbeak.  Right on 
schedule in the reported spot (by other who have seen it) in flew the male 
and female Grosbeaks.  We got a short glimpse of the male and then it just 
disappeared.  

Then we went on to find the Stilt Sandpiper and no luck on that one. We did 
see a Greater Yellowlegs, Black-necked Stilts, Avocets, Ruddy Duck, Northern 
Shoveler, Pintail, Cinnamon Teal, Mallards, Gadwalls and a flyover Peregrine 
Falcon.  Also had a Red-tail on the light post going out.  Heard Common 
Yellowthroats and Marsh Wrens.  Lots of Cliff Swallow flying in and out of 
their nest on the overpass.

On the way out we refound the Blue Grosbeak and this time got some really 
nice looks at it before it disappeared again!

Wishing you all good birding.

My best regards,
Linda Sullivan
