It didn't help, though, that a pickup truck from the plant passed me about 1/4 of the way around and flushed up virtually everything in its path. Birds that I did find included a basic-plumaged SPOTTED SANDPIPER along the channel west of the pond, 30 LESSER SCAUP in the same channel that included 10 downy young and perhaps 10 more half-grown young, a female BUFFLEHEAD with the scaup, a female GREEN-WINGED TEAL and 18 more LESSER SCAUP in the northwest corner of the pond, and a pair of GREATER SCAUP in the corner as well. The BLACK TERN was still foraging over the pond too. On Sunday, 22 Aug 04, I went to CCFS and checked the waterbird pond, where I found 20 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, all juveniles. There must have been a recent influx of this species. A juvenile COOPER'S HAWK made a half-hearted dash at the pond but came away empty-handed. I birded the northern-most riparian area and got a nice little flock to come into a pishing session. This flock included 2 YELLOW WARBLERS, a WILSON'S WARBLER, 4 COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, a BEWICK'S WREN, a DOWNY WOODPECKER, 3 CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, and a mess o' BUSHTITS. I then visited New Chicago Marsh, where both RUFFS were in the pond at State and Spreckles. A juvenile PEREGRINE FALCON came by and gave chase to some peeps before giving up and flying off.
