[SBB] Clapper Rails

[[[email protected]]]

Good evening SBBs.....
 
This morning Kristine Long and I went in search of Clapper Rails out at  Palo 
Alto Baylands...we arrived at low tide....7:45 and stopped at the Snowy  
Egret Colony....saw so many different size Snowy Egrets..it was amazing...
 
>From there we headed out on the boardwalk to find the Clapper  
Rail....Kristine  (a lifer for Kristine) spotted one ontop of the pickle  weed and we 
watched and waited till it came down the pickleweed and past us down  Clapper Alley. 
 
 
>From there we checked the birds out in the bay from the boardwalk....again  
another Clapper Rail but this time with a chick...just amazing to watch....and  
another adult spotted running back into the pickleweed.
 
>From there we went to the other end where the boat docks is....there we met  
and enjoyed some birding with Roy Carlson....always a pleasure Roy....we 
checked  out Least and Western Sandpipers, lots of Long-billed Curlews, Marbled 
Godwits,  Willets, and Semi-palmated Plovers....a few Forster's Tern flying and  
diving....
 
All and all a great morning of birding...
 
Wishing you all good birding and my best regards,
Linda Sullivan
Los Gatos
