At sunset today, 2/27/03, at Charleston Slough, 14 BLACK SKIMMERs 
came flying in from somewhere (I didn't see where) to land on the spit 
section of their favorite roosting island. Only at this time, this island 
was just a high point in the tidal mudflats. Several BARN SWALLOWs 
were working the air over the pumphouse. They had a rather nice song, 
almost warbler-like.

For those of you who don't know where Pond A1 is (I referred to it
in my post about the Short-eared Owl), it's the large pond between 
Charleston Slough and Mtn. View's Shoreline Park, north of the Mtn. 
View (aka Coast Casey) Forebay. This pond has several hunting blinds 
at the north end. For a numbered reference and explanation of the 
salt pond system, see the maps prepared by Bill Bousman on Kendric 
Smith's South Bay Birders Unlimited website:

Use the leftside navigation link "Maps of the Area".
