The mudflats in the estuary were liberally covered with BONAPARTE'S GULLS. I had to wait for small groups to finish flying in from the Water Pollution Control Plant in order to make a count, but I eventually came up with approximately 1700 birds. There were also 27 MEW GULLS out there. The duck pond had its usual plethora of RING-BILLED GULLS, with a few CALIFORNIA, WESTERN, and GLAUCOUS-WINGED thrown in. The bay proper had flocks of SCAUP numbering in the thousands, but I couldn't find anything notable in with them. There were 2 adult PEREGRINE FALCONS on the power towers - 1 at the estuary mouth and the other nearer to San Francisquito Creek. Also, 2 WHITE-TAILED KITES, a NORTHERN HARRIER, and an immature RED-TAILED HAWK spent time sparring with each other. There were good numbers of shorebirds along the edge of the incoming tide, the most interesting being about 10 RED KNOTS at the San Francisquito delta. Unfortunately, this area is outside the county.
