He refound the ELEGANT TERNs he and Bob Reiling had seen on Friday. This was midmorning on the bay side of the hills. The Elegant Terns were perched among Forster's on a decaying boardwalk that goes west across a salt pond from somewhere in the vicinity of the bay end of the Soaproot Trail. The Elegant Terns were mostly on the distant half of this boardwalk; you need a scope. No one took a census, but I counted a dozen or so in a single scope view; there had to have been several dozen at least overall. This was a life bird for several and a first-on-the-bay for many more. It was part of an excellent, if hot, bird walk. Other birds: ROCK WREN, WARBLING VIREOs, HUTTON'S VIREO, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERs, PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, and first-of-fall for many WHITE-CROWNED, GOLDEN-CROWNED and FOX SPARROWs. Note: the South Marsh is essentially dry. We found ducks hard to come by. Roland Kenner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
