The best birds were found by several different birders (a good thing) and included an AMERICAN BITTERN, a male BLUE-WINGED TEAL and a LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE in the Lockheed-Martin Ponds; COMMON MOHRHEN, GREEN HERON, LESSER SCAUP, COMMON GOLDENEYE, BURROWING OWL, and BELTED KINGFISHER at the Sunnyvale Water Treatment Facility; HERMIT THRUSH, Green Heron, and TOWNSEND'S WARBLER at the Charleston Rd Marsh; WILSON'S SNIPE and RUFF in New Chicago Marsh; BARN OWL and THAYER'S GULL at the Environmental Education Center; WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, FOX SPARROW, RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER, and a female BULLOCK'S ORIOLE in Edenvale Garden Park. A couple people tallied 93+ species for the day even though we deliberately tried to avoid identification of many of the more distant common species in an attempt to save time. Big misses were Eurasian Wigeon and Redhead at the Water Treatment Facility (from other posts I guess they've moved a mile or so west at this point in time) and the White-throated Sparrow at 1330 Charleston Rd (on the edge of the marsh).
