[SBB] Phalarope and swallows (Calero-Morgan Hill CBC)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

Today, 12/30/05, I covered the Uvas/McKean roads with a detour to Chesbro 
Reservoir for the Calero-Morgan Hill CBC.  At the upper end of Chesbro 
Reservoir, there were about eight WOOD DUCKS and about 17 COMMON 
MERGANSERS.  A few shorebirds were there including a distant phalarope 
which was undoubtedly a RED PHALAROPE.  Other counters may have found a few 
lingering phalarope from the recent coastal wreck.  Also over the reservoir 
were two swallows that I eventually was able to identify as a TREE SWALLOW 
and a NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW.  At least one SPOTTED SANDPIPER was 
here as well as three BLACK-NECKED STILT--not so common at inland 
reservoirs as they are along the Bay.
