In an attempt to minimize the effort required to see these birds we first tried scanning Salt Pond A-9, as well as other ponds, from the Sunnyvale landfill "Hill" nearest Twin Creeks. Unfortunately conditions were less than optimal (we couldn't be sure that what we were seeing weren't Great Egrets) so we decided to walk to the southern edge of Salt Pond A-10 in hopes that we would be able to see well enough into Salt Pond A-9 (this is a much shorter walk than to the eastern edge of A-9). There we had acceptable views of the compact, closely associating flock of Swans as well as of the hundreds ducks in both ponds. Highlights were the large number of REDHEAD (a first for the fall in the county), RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS (first of the fall for Frank) and CANVASBACK. We also spotted Dean Manley who was scoping the Swans from the northeastern corner of pond A-9.
