[SBB] Llagas Creek, Blue-winged Teal

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I checked out the west side of  Llagas Creek 
north of Bloomfield Rd.  In the first "marshy Water-Treatment  Pond" we had 
an adult male BLUE-WINGED TEAL.  Mark Paxton arrived shortly  thereafter and we 
were able to share the sighting with him before he had to  rush off to work.  
The number and variety birds seen was down  from our last trip.  Notables 
included several WESTERN SANDPIPERS (with a  few LEAST mixed in) and 
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS (those in the ponds included  one in full breeding plumage bird 
while a flock of six breeding plumaged birds  flew overhead without landing).  The 
most strangest thing was watching two  fairly large flocks of Gulls flying 
overhead at the same height but on slightly  different paths collide.  It was a 
lot like watching a massive car  crash in slow motion with no sound. 
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
