My best count of COMMON MERGANSERS was 27, all female/immatures. The ROCK WREN continues along the side of the creek opposite the stables among rocks in the grasslands. The immature GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE is still at Cottonwood Lake. It appears to favor its right foot. This bird is surprisingly tame. An OSPREY was at the southend of Parkway Lakes. This morning, 11/29/2002, an adult BROWN PELICAN was on the catwalk on Salt Pond A2W (additional birds may have been further out, beyond binocular range). A male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was at the east end of Shoreline Lake. A GOLDEN EAGLE was on a tower just south of the Stevens Creek Tidal Marsh. A flooding high tide was covering much of the marsh and I found the juvenile PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER with a small group of Black-bellied Plovers. This group then flew east and appeared to land in Crittenden Marsh (which now has water). It appears that this golden-plover is going to winter here, perhaps the first in 30 years. A BURROWING OWL was at mound #1 at Shoreline. Bill _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
