Not all the locations were technically in the purview of SBB (Plover exclosures at Francis Beach and TREE SWALLOW boxes and WHITE PELICANS at Coyote Hills), but most were. Of particular interest were the rookeries in Palo Alto (BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON, SNOWY EGRET, GREAT EGRET) & at Lake Cunningham (GREAT EGRET, BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON), as well as Owlets at Alum Rock Park (GREAT-HORNED OWL) and the EEC (BARN OWL), as well as nesting KILLDEER at Vasona Lake and at the EEC. We had some great luck with PIED-BILLED GREBE, GADWALL and WOOD DUCK ducklings as well. The most interesting thing we saw (and one of the participants photographed) was an attack by a male SNOWY PLOVER on a chick from an adjoining nest that had strayed too close. The Plover volunteers tried to help shoo the chick back to its own nest, but that turned out to be a futile gesture as the chick died within a day--presumably from the attack. I posted some images on my website (www.cardinalphoto.com) for those interested. The only "ringer" in the images is the captive AMERICAN KESTREL out for a walk with one of the volunteers at the Alum Rock YSI. It was too pretty not to take its picture.--David _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
