Lots of BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS (mostly juveniles), several CALIFORNIA GULLS, a few WESTERN GULLS, several FORSTER'S TERNS, two LONG-BILLED CURLEWS and a BONAPARTE'S GULL. Two different large stick nests in power towers along the creek had COMMON RAVENS in/on them. Four LESSER SCAUP (three males) were in Salt Pond A2E. There was lots of water in Crittenden Marsh but very little else of interest (ditto the latter for Stevens Creek Mitigation Pond). A stop at the Palo Alto Yacht Harbor, the Duck Pond, a walk out to "Clapper Creek" and a short drive to the harbor entrance failed to produce any notable birds. Our last stop at Charleston Slough, Adobe Creek etc. produced four young COMMON MOORHEN with an adult in the small pond southwest of the "pump house," an adult male HOUSE SPARROW entering a CLIFF SWALLOW nest on the north side of the "pump house," Bonaparte's Gulls (6-8, mixed in with a couple different flocks of Forster's Terns), at least three alternate plumaged SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS (with a large mixed group of MARBLED GODWITS and WILLETS), three male CINNAMON TEAL, a male NORTHERN SHOVELER and an injured (bad foot) alternate plumaged WESTERN SANDPIPER. Take care, Bob Reiling, 3:16 PM, 6/12/03 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
