We assume that this is the same LBHE found by Pat Kenny and Roland Kenner on Sunday morning (6/29) and is most probably the same bird found by Mike Rogers and Mike Mammoser on 6/27 in a salt pond east of A4. Frank found the bird as soon as we arrived at the pond (southwest corner), we then decided try for a better look and proceeded in the counterclockwise so as to have the light at our backs as we approached the bird. We kept checking on the bird as we progressed around the pond but at about 9:45 AM we were unable to refind it. There seemed to be good bird activity on this pond in contrast to recent outings away from the bay. We had hundreds of WHITE PELICANS (400 at one count later in the day, including a nice variety of markings with at least one breeding adult with a growth on the upper mandible), lots of GREAT and SNOWY EGRETS, lots of FORSTER'S TERNS and at least three CASPIAN TERNS. The CALIFORNIA GULL flock included a couple adult WESTERNS and at least one RING-BILLED. At least one Aechmorphus GREBE (a long distance away and sleeping) and a small flock of "peeps" zipped thru unidentified.
