Folks:

This morning, 8/5/2004, Steve Rottenborn and I did a little birding in 
Alviso.  The biggest surprise was two flocks of BROWN PELICANS, both seen 
at the same time.  One flock was between 1000 and 2000 feet over the 
valley, which is quite unusual, and contained 47 immatures.  The other 
flock was of nine birds and was at a more typical altitude of 50 feet and 
were also immatures or sub-adults.  Thus birds in the air at one time were 
56, plus a number of birds were seen foraging or roosting in other 
locations during the morning.  Steve said there has been some discussion of 
the excellent productivity of Brown Pelicans this year with a concordant 
spread of immatures looking for areas to feed.

We checked the New Chicago Marsh without finding any of the uncommon 
shorebirds found there lately.
