Larry (last name?) was also at the original site. After some time Frank and I decided to work the rest of the pond while Larry hung in at the original site until we returned. A couple hard "check" calls were heard but we couldn't make anything out of it. We did have at least two WILSON'S SNIPE, several HERMIT THRUSH, lots of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (about 75 percent Audubons), DARK-EYED JUNCOs, a nice FOX SPARROW, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, both GOLDFINCHES, both CROWNED SPARROWS and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK to name a few. We then went to Adobe Creek where we had our first CANVASBACK of the year, a couple DUNLIN near some Dowitchers, and a juvenile WHITE-TAILED KITE. Later we had a male and two female BLUE-WINGED TEAL in the "North Pond" [AKA A Pond]. This pond also had a male NORTHERN SHOVELER showing a fairly nice whitish facial crescent. The SCVAS field trip on Sunday was fairly slow but thanks to some sharp-eyed birders and some good intel we did manage a MERLIN in Alviso south of the parking lot, a SNOWY PLOVER in the Impoundment located north of the parking lot [lots of DUNLIN here], a PEREGRINE FALCON on a Power Tower near the EEC entrance road, an adult THAYER'S GULL on the first island in Salt Pond A16 [a first of the fall for me with HERRING GULLS nearby for comparison], a WILSON'S SNIPE in New Chicago Marsh and several BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS [GREY PLOVER to our visitor from Australia on the trip] in the Marsh [three flew off at one time showing their black armpits] and in the pond at State and Spreckles. Unfortunately we missed the Stilt Sandpiper that was apparently seen less than an hour later where we had been.
