[SBB] Shoreline Skimmers Pelicans, Grebes

[Gordon Barrett <[[email protected]]>]

Sunday, April 3, 2005.

I was without optics this afternoon when I spotted about 12 or so 
Black Skimmers in Salt Pond A1 on a sandy island very near the 
Stevens Creek Trail(SE corner?).  Easier to spot were 12 American 
White Pelicans cooperatively feeding nearer the north corner still 
near the bike path.  A male and female Northern Harrier were 
patrolling the marsh along Stevens Creek.

On Shoreline Lake itself were two Horned/Eared Grebes  in alternate 
plumage  just too far away to ID with no optics(and they were too far 
away from my scope when I had it this morning!)  I'm pretty good at 
telling these birds apart by structure, but not today.  What, ANOTHER 
day of birding?
