It may well be that everything I saw has already been reported, but I haven't yet worked through all the Email. In the morning, I checked the Palo Alto Baylands. I tried unsuccessfully for the Swamp Sparrow which Mike Rogers had reported the previous day; but I wasn't quite sure I was in the right spot (i.e., far enough along the airport levee). I also didn't have much luck with rails, except for getting a close look at one Clapper by the boardwalk. The only other bird worth noting was a Peregrine Falcon on one of the towers. In the afternoon, I stopped at several Coyote Valley locations on my way south. Calero Reservoir was crowded (including jet-skiers, which I had thought was banned there), and I didn't find much. At Parkway Lakes I saw 5 American White Pelicans and the one Brown Pelican (standing on the east shore - I wonder if this guy is well), but no Loons. Likewise, I had no Loon at the Coyote Creek Golf Course. There was a Spotted Sandpiper on one of the ponds. And this time the 4 Great-tailed Grackles I saw included 3 males, which implies a total population of at least 5.
