Hello,

The LONG-BILLED CURLEW is back to Sunnyvale Baylands Park.  I spotted the
bird along the northern edge of the Great Meadow feeding in the grass.  I've
seen one or two of this species in this location over quite a few
falls/winters.  I don't know if the same bird is returning each time but it
would seem likely to me.

There were two small, dark ducks in the pond that I didn't recognize.  The
ducks were in opposite ends of the pond.  Each had a distinct white mark
behind the eye.  The closest thing I can find in my field guide is a female
or juvenile BUFFLEHEAD.  However, the white mark on the birds I saw seemed
more defined than that shown in Sibley.  I watched one of these birds fly
away.  It showed more white in flight and flew large circles around the area
before disappearing off to the south/southwest.

Rosalie Strait
