    This morning I did what I think was a fairly thorough check of the
islands (and south levee) at salt pond A16 (behind the EEC in Alviso) for
Ruddy Turnstone, but I didn't find any.  I tried to check even the rear
side of island 3, and watched several times as shorebird flocks flushed.
    Birds I did see:  EARED GREBE (at least 65 in breeding plumage),
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER (1 barely different from basic plumage), WILLET (1),
flocks of alternate-plumaged WESTERN SANDPIPERs and DUNLIN (at least 300
of the latter, every one worth looking at), just one DOWITCHER (I think
LONG-BILLED), RED-NECKED PHALAROPE (14, together), BONAPARTE'S GULL (1).
BLACK SKIMMER (4).  As previously reported, there were two Skimmers on
each of islands 3 and 4.  The island-3 duo departed for a while for a
skim, but I later saw what I assume were the same 2 back there.  I noticed
a number of Avocet chicks, some very small.
