Hello all,

I made a few stops mid-day today to see some birds I have not yet seen
this year.  Struck out on two, got two.  But lovely to be out.

a. 2  Ruffs - saw them both from the railroad track near EEC. There
were quite close to the track, moving quickly through the pickleweed

b. 1 Burrowing Owl -- on the other side of the railroad tracks, closer
to the road 

c. 0  Barn Owl -- no sign of adult or young in the box or around (they
were probably right in front of me in the tree despite lots of
looking)

d. 0 Blue-winged Teal, Sunnyvale Baylands -- no sign of these in any
of the wetlands area but 1 Cinnamon Teal male kept appearing and
disappearing right under my nose in low pickleweed. There were also
pairs of Gadwall and American Wigeons here.

Also seen:

- Northern-rough Winged Swallows, 2 at the intersection of Gold & 237
(continuing)
- Western Grebe in the very empty pond off the Alviso Marina (except
for a 30+ flock of California Gulls)
- Adult Herring Gull -- Alviso Marino flat pond between levee and rail
road tracks
- 3 American White Pelicans -- pond to the right of 237 when driving
from Alviso to Sunnyvale, plus 2 more flew in later, over the
Sunnyvale Baylands
- Juvenile (brown) Cooper's or Sharp-shinned Hawk at near State and
Spreckles (seen from Alviso marina) (likely Cooper's due to locale and
season?)

Good birding,

Kris Olson
Menlo Park, CA
