Near where the railroad track junction is, next to the former Alviso Marina, there were good numbers of returning Shorebirds. These included a couple hundred LEAST SANDPIPERS, a few WESTERN SANDPIPERS, a dozen or so silent DOWITCHERS, of undetermined species, a single GREATER YELLOWLEGS and best of all, between 150 and 200 WILSON'S PHALEROPES, some of which were still in alternate plumage. To get out to the railroad tracks, we had to carefully cross a dry salt bed. Other birds in the area included a BURROWING OWL sitting on a railroad cross arm along the road to the visitor center, and a single AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN flying around the marsh. Stilts and Avocets were ubiquitous and noisy, and there were a few Forster's Terns flying around. Good birding, Matt Brady UCSC, Santa Cruz, CA [[email protected]] AIM: Podoces _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
