No sign of any Little Blue Heron, but many Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Black-crowned Night Herons and 2 or 3 Great Blue Herons. Two AMERICAN-WHITE PELICANS hung out in the SW corner where there is an inlet, which also attracted many egrets and 15+ FORESTER'S TERNS. 14 PIED-BILLED GREBES were clustered in the NW corner. A CASPIAN TERN flew over as I left, maybe 8:40pm. Four alternate plumaged GREATER-YELLOWLEGS were present along with 6 BLACK-NECKED STILTS. Numerous CALIFORNIA GULLS kept streaming by, heading west to the West and East ponds. One quite large gull with mottely brown plumage with a long white wing stripe up the center of its wings also flew by. A female NORTHERN HARRIER scouted the rushes. COMMON YELLOWTHROATS and MARSH WRENS sang continually along with 1 SONG SPARROW. There were many CLIFF and BARN SWALLOWS and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS in the reeds. The far ponds held RUDDY DUCKS, Mallards and Gadwalls from what I could see. As I was leaving, the SNOWY EGRETS began to roost for the night in the tall reeds and more BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS flew out. Guess that left the big guys, Great Blue and Great Egret, up the latest. I though it was interesting that I could not see 1 egret or heron in the West and East ponds and there were almost no ducks in A4. Good birding, Kris Olson, Menlo Park CA _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
