There were 10s of VAUX'S SWIFTs mostly near the plant proper. There was only a single FORSTER'S TERN on the western dike, so we headed to State and Spreckels where we saw nothing interesting. Back at the WPCP about noon, things were looking up with a GREEN HERON near the pump shack and a SORA in the usual shrubs short of the radar station. There were perhaps 50 terns on the western dike. We soon saw three BLACK TERNs flying over the eastern and northern parts of the west pond. Later one juvenile BLACK TERN fed in the channel and joined the tern roost. Also in the roost was a COMMON TERN: all black bill, black across the rear crown, dark but still reddish legs, short legged compared to nearby FORSTER'S, carpal bar not prominent but noticable. I wouldn't have been convinced except that it fluttered its wings and spread its tail a few times giving good looks at the black edging on its tail. Dean Manley and two other birders saw the juvenile Black Tern and the Common Tern. Roland Kenner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
