On the way out we ran into Roland Kenner and Pat Kenny [who also had not seen the bird] near the ponds just east of the main rail line into Alviso. We ended up seeing several BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS but we were unable to relocate the American Golden-Plover [we even walk the rail line for some distance toward Alviso]. As we ran out of time we decided to try for the BANK SWALLOW in Alviso near the SFBBO headquarters. During subsequent observations of Swallows on the roof top of the bldg. at the northeast corner of Hope St & Elizabeth St someone asked if I was looking at a Bank Swallow as I was clearly looking in a different area than where they were seeing a Bank Swallow. I was, in fact, viewing a juvenile Bank Swallow and a quick check of the bird that they were looking at verified that it was indeed a second juvenile Bank Swallow. We were then able to show at least one Bank Swallow to Janet Hanson of SFBBO and another birder [name?] who just happened to be driving by. Besides hundreds of BARN SWALLOWS we also had several TREE SWALLOWS [a couple young birds showing nice breastbands and one of these even had a dark area on it's belly that was disconnected from the breastband], a couple VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS and at least one very streaky breasted NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW [I assumed that it was a juvenile but I never got a good look at the back].
