It was feeding on the grass with AMERICAN COOTS. We then had a BARN OWL in the area below the dam. At the Coyote Creek Field Station, along Coyote Creek and near the southern most mist nets we had a couple good sightings of GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS [only one at a time at a couple sites] and earlier, more downstream, a MERLIN. There were lots of Gulls in the "Slag Ponds" and in the "Waterbird Pond" [nothing of note]. I mention the Gulls because during Sundays SCVAS field trip to Fremont Lagoons we had almost no gulls and the few there were chased off by gunfire from the marsh to the west. A very undesirable situation for a Gull identification trip. We did manage a respectable 62 species for the day with the best bird being a SNOW GOOSE [looking very much like a gull to all but Pat Kenny]. Other "notables" included SORA [calling], COMMON MERGANSER, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, AMERICAN PIPIT, and a FOX SPARROW [in a drainage area thru the reeds]. A quick stop at Hidden Lake in Milpitas after the trip yielded first ever THAYER'S GULLS for some as well as a nice adult GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL.
