Three quickly disappeared from view and then there was only one. After lunch I stopped by the Stevens Creek Tidal Marsh to look for the Eurasian Green-winged Teal but was foiled again. However, I saw a pair of REDHEADs diving repeatedly in Crittenden Marsh. As I was leaving, my disappointment of not finding the teal again was mitigated by a GOLDEN EAGLE flying suddenly into view and pouncing on its lunch - a squirrel. Later around 5:30 PM (No, I wasn't birding all day.) I stopped by Arzino Ranch and saw 3 BURROWING OWLs and a RING-NECKED PHEASANT as I was trying to get my scope on a mostly white, large goose which was about the same size as the CANADA GEESE. In the fading light I could see black patches on its back. The bill was orange. At first I thought that it was a Snow Goose but I could not find anything in the field guides with similar plumage. It's probably the same goose which Mike Mammoser saw. Is it, Mike? Good birding, Peggy Don _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
