Roland and Pat were already on them when Ashutosh Sinha and I got there around 9:30AM. We made the mistake of walking on the main levee between the sewage ponds and the birds were barely visible from there. We had to walk all the way back to near the radar tower to cross over to the levee between the West pond and the channel. The Semipalmated provided good comparative studies with LEAST and WESTERN SANDPIPERs and at one point both it and a SEMIPALMATED PLOVER were in the same view. The Pectoral S. was mostly sitting, distinguished from other peeps by its size. Occassionaly it stood up to provide good views. Pat and Roland told us of a WILLOW FLYCATCHER near the parking lot and we had good looks at the bird on the way back. It was where the trail from the parking lot approaches the transmission lines and makes a right. It was actively foraging in the reeds/fennel/bushes across the channel on the side of the pollution plant. >From the parking lot, cross the bridge, make a right and at the second right near the towers is where the bird was. A SORA was seen under the willows before the radar station. Other birders had a VIRGINA there as well. One birder had a BLACK TERN flying over the west pond at 8:30AM, but we had no terns other than a single flyby CASPIAN.
