All were in the area I believe is called the Coast Casey Forebay. In the second pond northwest of the portable bathroom Joan Brauch spotted an American Bittern. After finally stabbing some small prey, it struck the familiar pose with its bill raised to the sky. We were surprised by a raccoon fishing in the water near the shore when we first came in at 10 am. One of four Savannah Sparrows was nearly picked off the grass right in front of us by a cruising Northern Harrier. We also saw a bird with all the markings of a Golden Eagle high overhead. It wasn't a Red tailed Hawk which was also seen. Wondered if anyone else saw that bird about 2 pm. Only one Black Skimmer was on the small island in salt pond A 1. We counted 15 Snowy Egrets and one Great Egret also on the island. There were quite a few Surf Scoters and Eared Grebes at the lake.
