This area also had a singing CALIFORNIA THRASHER and two Bobcats [feeding and romping on a hillside to the northeast]. Things were pretty slow but we also had GOLDEN EAGLE(S?), WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, SAY'S PHOEBE [at least two], RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROWS [AT LEAST THREE] and a solo SAVANNAH SPARROW. Other species included DARK-EYED JUNCO, AMERICAN ROBIN, WESTERN MEADOWLARK, YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIE, WHITE-THROATED SWIFT [with a couple tag along unidentified swallows], AMERICAN KESTREL, and RED-TAILED HAWK. Rock Wren was our big miss, tried hard but "no joy." On our way home we stopped by the pond at State and Spreckles in Alviso, lots of MEW GULLS [there and at the water treatment facility] and a couple DUNLIN in with a small flock of Dowitchers [no Ruff]. A train was on the tracks that run through the marsh so we were not able to do a thorough check of that pond or the western edge of New Chicago Marsh. We then did a quick check of the Environmental Education Center, a BARN OWL was in the box nest and largest percentage of the gulls on the first island in Salt Pond A16 were THAYER'S GULLS [several adults]. A single GREATER YELLOWLEGS, a couple AMERICAN WIGEONS, MALLARDS, CANADA GEESE and a few gulls were the only species spotted in the marsh from the boardwalk.
