RE: [SBB] Coyote Creek Field Station, Salt Pond A12

Bob et al. 

   I can't remember ever seeing a Hairy Woodpecker at CCFS, although my
memory can be faulty. It is on the checklist, so we have recorded it there
in the past, but I can assure you that it is a pretty darn good bird at CCFS
- certainly rarer than a Blue Grosbeak!!

For a checklist of birds at CCFS, go to:

http://www.sfbbo.org/ccfs.htm

and find the link beneath "CCFS is". Note that some of the names are
cut-off, something I just noticed and which needs to be fixed. My apologies
for this. If any birds are missing, or status is incorrect do let me know.
The list also includes other creatures (mammals, butterflies, herps and
dragonflies). 

Good birding
