In fading light, I also drove Bloomfield Road. The fields were extensively flooded from the past day's rain, and there were quite a few hundreds (perhaps 1000) of California Gull, along with some Mew Gulls. On my return this afternoon, I again checked Bloomfield Road, finding the fields are now nearly dry, with no Gulls and no obvious shorebirds (I didn't do a careful check. I could see a large flock of Gulls uphill to the east at a dump site. The only raptors I saw on Bloomfield were Red-tailed, Kestrel, and Shrike. I made a last stop of the day to check for the Ferruginous Hawk near 10500 New Avenue near Gilroy. Although 3:40 PM was a bit early to expect it on its favorite antenna here, the bird was perched on a corral structure at the east end of the first field on the east side of New Ave. With the rear view I had, this is a strikingly bright bird.
