The Blue-Winged Teal, at least three males, were lined up on the log in the middle of the channel that leads off to the flood control basin. There were more Green-Winged Teal today than yesterday, and fewer Cinnamon Teal. The Wigeon and Shovelors and Pintail were numerous. There were at least two immature Common Moorhen in the creek. The big surprise for me was a bright male Ring-Necked Pheasant on the north bank of Adobe Creek mostly hidden by the red vegetation. The slough was full of water and no shorebirds while I was there. I did locate an immature Black Crowned Night Heron sitting on a nest two feet above the water in plain view in the Coast Casey Forbay. Not a lot of birds, but what there was "was choice."
