Greeting SBBirders,

Yesterday afternoon Pat Gordon and I found 18 Black Skimmers at their Island 
(vegetated) in the salt pond adjacent to Charleston Slough. Lots of flying 
with a group of 4 coming/going from the A1 Pond (south). Also here was the 
slow-but-sure family walk of Canada gander, 6 goslings (new) and Goose across 
the whole low tide mud flat of the Slough Pond (north to south with 
distinctive tracks). Still around were a pair of Gadwall, a few Cinnamon 
Teal, a single male (Am.) Green-winged Teal and a few Northern Shovelers and 
Scaup sp.

At Shoreline Lake in Mt.View an imm. Merlin was perched then flew off (to 
prey?) from the snag top of a Monterey Cypress at the Parking Lot near the 
Cafe. Although the southerly winds had most lake birds away along the north 
shore, we only saw a few Canada Geese and mallards (residents?) and lots of 
Am. Coots and Gulls (mostly Calif. Gull).  On the south Stevens 
Creek-Crittenden Marsh Trail, noteworthy was a Common Raven carrying nest 
material to an empty power pole (no nest as yet). We could hear the song of 
Common (Salt Marsh?) Yellowthroat from the Creek edge, but no waterbirds in 
the channel.

Happy Birding
Phil Gordon, Hayward, ALA Co.
