Unfortunately we dipped on the Tricolored Blackbird, our target bird. We then "bumped into" Pat Kenny and Roland Kenner who later joined us at Coyote Creek Field Station where we had extended views of a fairly plain looking male BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD just downstream of mist net lane 9330 (this is an area in which we have often seen BCHU in the past). Near the next mist net lane upstream (9338?) we had a calling SWAINSON'S THRUSH. The Eucalyptus tree just north of the banding trailer had two male WESTERN TANAGER (they later flew from the tree to another nearer the creek), and a couple BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS (in addition to at least three BULLOCK'S ORIOLES). Following an unproductive stop in the area where Training nets were erected last year Pat and Roland had to leave; after a couple more unproductive stops on our part, Frank and I headed for the Environmental Education Center where we had a BARN OWL in the nest box over the creek, eight breeding plumaged female RED-NECKED PHALAROPES in Salt Pond A-16, two each BLACK SKIMMERS on islands # 3 and 4, multiple mixed flocks of DUNLIN and WESTERN SANDPIPERS but no Ruddy Turnstones. I should note that shortly after we arrived at the EEC 10-12 BONAPARTE'S GULLS (one in breeding plumage) tried to perch on the first island but were repeatedly chased off by AMERICAN AVOCETS until they eventually decided to move on.
