Two male BLUE-WINGED TEAL were in the North Pond. I then went to the Alviso Marina and put on my wellies and walked out the Alviso Slough Trail. The mud was a pretty good consistency for mud slippers so I had an excellent exercise regime (especially good for quads). Ponds A12, A13, and A14 were pretty quite with only small flocks of Eared Grebes and Northern Shoverler. At the cross-over road to A16, I walked over and found five RED PHALAROPES in the northwest corner. They spooked and moved to the center and I walked the west levee a few hundred meters and eventually they came closer to shore. I could not see any paleness at the bases of the lower mandibles. The bills were quite stocky and the backs a pale gray. Bill _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
