This afternoon about 1:00 I found the Flamingo about 200 yds. from the dredge "Mallard" at the northern extreme of pond A14 at Alviso. It was along the levee going southwest from the dredge. It  stayed close to the levee most of the time I observed it but finally moved out to open water to the exposed bottom of the pond. I believed it was walking but it appeared to be swiming in the manner of a swan. It certainly is a striking appearing bird. 
I made my way over the dredged material to about 200 ft. from it which gave me scope filling views.

In addition to the flamingo there was a very large number of shorebirds at the very northern end of A14 on the exposed bottom of the pond: 50 LONG BILLED-CURLEWS, 50 WILLETS 20 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS,150 MARBLED GODWITS, 300 AVOCETS, 50 SANPIPERS (Least or Western), 4 DUNLIN, 300 DOWITCHERS (SP.) AND 20 STILTS. I actually counted the Curlews.
