I found 4 ELEGANT TERNS on salt pond A1, next to Shoreline Lake, at about 10:30 am. They were roosting with FORSTER'S TERNS on short pilings near the southeast corner, although still well out on the pond. About a half hour later there was still 2 of them present, although they had moved to pilings further out in the center of the pond. No sign of the Sabine's Gull. There were 4 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS feeding on the pond near the southwest corner and these bird were foraging singly, rather than in a group. Each one of these pelicans had a single attendant gull trailing behind it - no more, no less. I assume the gulls were looking for scraps of food, although I saw none of them actually eat anything. It was fairly comical as the gulls zigged and zagged whichever way the pelican turned, almost as if they were tethered to it. Of possible interest on the North Pond of the Palo Alto flood control basin was a male BLUE-WINGED TEAL, 5 CANVASBACKS, and a calling VIRGINIA RAIL.
