I surveyed the Mowry Ponds (Alameda County) for Snowy Plovers, also on
6/26. The CA GULL colony in this area had quite a few downy, ambulatory
young. I didn't count them but the numbers seemed high, considering that
the colony was limited to the levees. Most were on the outer levee at
Bayside of Pond 2 which is south of Mowry Slough and north of Coyote
Creek.

There were small groups of AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS, probably no
more than 25 total in the area. And one alternate plumaged EARED GREBE.

(All six ponds were still filled with water, hence, no Snowy Plovers 
were
found.)
