Folks:

This morning, 1/15/2004, I searched some South Bay locations unsuccessfully 
for the Lesser Black-backed Gull.  I started at the Sunnyvale WPCP 
oxidation ponds, then walked north of the Alviso Marina, and finally 
checked Salt Pond A16 at the Alviso EEC.

At Sunnyvale, Roland Kenner, Pat Kenny, and Mike Rogers joined the search 
and were kind enough to point out a male EURASIAN WIGEON in the west 
pond.  An antic imm. PEREGRINE FALCON was harrassing just about everything 
that moved, which was fun to watch.  A female/imm MERLIN came by which was 
also great.

North of the Alviso Marina, I found five SANDERLING at the north end of the 
impoundment there.  I estimated >1100 gulls on the A12/A13 dike, almost all 
Herring Gulls.

I missed all of Dave Weber's good shorebirds at New Chicago Marsh and found 
nothing notable in the gull flocks on A16.

Bill
