[SBB] Sunnyvale WPCP and environs

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

Folks:

This morning, 7/14/2005, I got on my bicycle at the Sunnyvale WPCP and took 
the trail down along the Lockheed-Martin ponds and went to the last pond 
and back.  I then made a CW circuit of the two main oxidation ponds.  On my 
return I then went over to Salt Pond A4 and made a CCW circuit.

My morning total for GREEN HERONS was an adult and two juveniles, all along 
the southern edge of the oxidation ponds.  A female/immature BUFFLEHEAD was 
in the Lockheed-Martin Ponds and was missing all of its secondaries on its 
left wing and the primaries were degraded.  It seems likely that this is 
the same bird seen a number of times earlier in the summer.  Duck broods 
included: three GADWALL, one MALLARD, and two LESSER SCAUP.  Rarer ducks 
without breeding evidence included three NORTHERN SHOVELER and four 
NORTHERN PINTAIL.  No Ruddy Duck broods yet.  Three RED-NECKED PHALAROPE 
were in the West Pond.  Salt Pond A4 was pretty quiet.
