This morning I birded around the SCVWD Ponds off Alamden Expressway from
about 8:30 to 10:00. I saw 35 species. Ducks on the big pond were mostly
Ruddy Ducks and Mallards, but a few Ring-necked and one Northern Shoveler.
The were 2-3 very vocal Marsh Wrens in the reeds along the creek and a
Spotted Sandpiper and Green Heron by the spillway. While I was watching a
Song Sparrow and a Fox Sparrow foraging by the pond North of the main one,
an adult Nutmeg Mannikin flew in alongside the sparrows. On the way out, I
saw a flock of 5-6 more mannikins comprised of adults and immatures. The
bird of the day was a Merlin, perched in a Sycamore (I think) tree near the
Northeast corner of the pond. An American Kestrel was in the same tree.
