After reading Dave Weber's message about the Golden Plover in Alviso,
I spend from about 3pm to 6pm walking the railroad tracks leading out
from the entrance road to EEC.

Just before the intersection of the 2 railroad tracks, in a big pond
on the left (it has a horizontal telephone pole along the side), I
came upon lots of peeps -- Least Sandpipers, Westerns and one or two
Dunlins. The surprise was seeing two SNOWY PLOVERS in the middle of
them, acting pretty much like sandpipers instead of plovers -- taking
a bath, wading in the water and foraging. Must be their day at the
spa? It was a lovely warm afternoon. One of the Snowies must have been
a juvenile with very light but scaly feathers. The other looked darker
and more worn-- a smoother look.

Further out in this pond was a BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER. No sign of any
other plover.

When I got back to the car, I heard two WESTERN MEADOWLARKS calling.
