Our first stop was at "the" sludge ponds where we had 30-40 BUGUs but nothing else of note. A quick stop at the Coyote Creek Field Station "Waterbird Pond" yielded nothing other than the fact that the water level in the pond seems very low. We then did a stop at the Water Treatment Facility on Los Esteros Rd. where we had lots of BUGUs in and around the various treatment tanks (perhaps another 40-50 birds). Several BOGUs were seen to fly toward "the" sludge pond. Unfortunately their private security people told us we had to leave the parking lot (this doesn't seem right but they do have "NO Loitering" signs on the fence and I don't like to discourage post 9/11 efforts). We weren't even near the fences but I suppose they assume, like a lot of people, that our scopes are telephoto cameras. In any case we then tried for and failed to find the Ruffs (it's about time they moved on). Our final stop was Salt Pond A16 (Environmental Education Center) where we had another 30-40 BOGUs in the southeast corner of the pond and on the nearest island. Most of the BOGO leaving this pond seemed to be headed toward the Water Treatment Facility.
