Rather slow today but there were some eye-poppers throughout the day. A half a dozen WILSON'S SNIPE continued at State & Spreckels. I then moved on to the EEC where I was about to give up when, looking through the trees to the side of the parking lot, I saw an OSPREY circling. It stooped at least once while I was watching but it didn't seem to come up with anything. Just as I was getting into my car, I saw it apparently start to leave the area, paralleling the exit road. However, as I was driving on that exit road, I saw it start to circle again right where the road bends. Maybe it decided to hang out after all. It's just a good thing no one was behind me at the time. :-) A male AMERICAN KESTREL landed on a telephone pole as I was turning off the access road. I stopped at the Lucy Evans Nature Center next. A large flock of GREEN-WINGED TEAL were hanging out there, in the neighborhood of 50 individuals. A WHITE-TAILED KITE and a RED-TAILED HAWK were at odds over who got a particular perching spot. Finally, I checked out the Ponds A & B in the Flood Control Basin. As I was starting down the path between the ponds, a PEREGRINE FALCON flew by overhead and joined up with a circling set of 2 TURKEY VULTURES and a RED-TAILED HAWK for a couple minutes. Continuing on, 3 BLUE-WINGED TEAL (2 M, 1 F) were hanging out in the pond Northeast of Pond A. In the pond to the right, 55+ AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS were hanging out, mostly snoozing. A GREAT BLUE HERON, GREAT EGRETS, and SNOWY EGRETS were visible from the same location. Also in the area were CINNAMON TEAL, more GREEN-WINGED TEAL, NORTHERN PINTAIL, AMERICAN WIGEON, PIED-BILLED GREBES, EARED GREBES, RUDDY DUCKS, MALLARDS, AMERICAN COOTS, and a couple (hundred that is) NORTHERN SHOVELERS. In a channel separating a couple of the ponds, I picked up a COMMON MOORHEN (likely juvenile) which is a first for me at that location. A couple of MARSH WRENS seemed to be having a rather noisy on-going altercation. Best Regards, Kirsten R.
