SNOW GOOSE seen last night by Sidd Ramachandramurthi. The bird was on the east side of Adobe Creek with six to eight CANADA GEESE. The bird had obvious rusty stains on its forehead and cheeks. The beak (shorter) and forehead (less flat) seemed to be shaped somewhat in between Ross's and the larger Snow Geese we usually see with a less well defined curved border on the side of the bill at it's base (nicely curved at the top though). Unfortunately the bird had a minimal grin patch? Generally the bird seemed to be as large as the smaller Canada Geese and had a broad-backed heavy bodied look. We then checked Charleston Slough near the tide gate and upon our return at about 10:30 AM the SNGO and most of the CAGO were gone. We then went over to the Palo Alto Duck Pond where we saw our first BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS of the year. Our last stop was Byxbee Park where Frank spotted an adult male BLUE-WINGED TEAL resting with CANVASBACK, AMERICAN WIGEON and LESSER SCAUP on the west side of Matadero Creek. A NORTHERN PINTAIL (a pair?) was a bit further downstream. Take care, Bob Reiling, 2:03 PM, 4/8/03 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
