All,

This afternoon, Cricket and I looked for the Little Blue Heron in the 
Sunnyvale WPCP despite evidence that the bird may have moved on. As 
expected, we did not find it, but enjoyed a nice bike ride around the 
entire area. We were rewarded with good looks at several groups of 
American White Pelican, a pair of Green Heron, Common Moorhen, a few 
Northern Shoveler, a single female Bufflehead, good numbers of Lesser 
Scaup, Ruddy Duck males doing their bizarre courtship display, 
California and Ring-billed Gulls, Caspian and Forster's Terns, and 
several small groups of Least Sandpipers.

The most interesting bird encountered was a WHITE-CHEEKED PINTAIL, 
which was located halfway along the western edge of the western most 
pond. There is a large crane (the construction kind) at the north end 
of the levy trail and the area west of this is closed. It was 
associating with a mixed group of about 100 birds that included Ruddy 
Ducks, Mallards and Gadwall. Clearly this is an escaped bird, but it 
was interesting to see anyway and had us scratching our heads  for a 
few minutes.
