About 9:00 this morning Pat Kenny and I walked out to A4 from the Sunnyvale
WPCP parking.  On reaching A4, we immediately saw an adult LITTLE BLUE HERON
feeding along the NW shore, more or less opposite the radar station.  We
followed the bird around to the NE, finally getting quite good looks from
120' or so.  It followed us back as we retreated towards the WPCP.  We last
saw it about 10:30 and it was not visible when we left A4.  It must be well
fed judging by the number of fish we saw it catch.  A4 was a livelier place
this morning than it was Tuesday; there were 200-odd AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS
and relatively large numbers of herons, egrets, and FORSTER'S TERNs.

Other birds: three WHITE-THROATED SWIFTs over the dump hills, a CASPIAN TERN
over A4, and a BURROWING OWL on the levee between the path to A4 and the
WPCP.

Thanks to Les Chibana and friend for their report.

Roland Kenner
