In Salt Pond A13 [the second pond north of the marina] we had a distant Phalarope that seemed to meet all of the criteria for a REPH. On our way further out to get a closer look at the bird in Salt Pond A13 we found three much closer REPH swimming in Salt Pond A16 [east of A13], all were in basic plumage. We then checked out the pond at State & Spreckles [a single BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER the only notable bird] and then refound the STILT SANDPIPER, with a group of Dowitchers in the first pond east of the RR tracks in New Chicago Marsh. A PEREGRINE FALCON was on a power tower just south of the Don Edwards EEC entrance road. A few Dowitchers were in the marsh to the south of the entrance road. A quick stop at the Jubilee Christian Center parking lot yielded a WILSON'S SNIPE near a wet area just inside the Arzino Ranch fence and a distant MERLIN on a post just north of the main farm buildings [Identified as a small falcon with a bit of a hooded look that never pumped it's tail during an extended viewing period]. We then went to the SFBBO CCFS "Waterbird Pond" where Frank found a first fall WHITE-FACED IBIS on the small island with the posts on it. Four AMERICAN PIPITS and a LESSER YELLOWLEGS [with a GREATER YELLOWLEGS nearby] were in the far northwest corner of the fenced-in "slag" ponds. The Ibis was still on the small island in the Waterbird Pond when we left at 12:35 PM. Take care, Bob Reiling _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
