This evening at Charleston Slough there were 4 BLACK SKIMMERS on Black
Skimmer Island with primo views from the deck area. One of the Black
Skimmers was colored chestnut brown rather than black and was a little
bit smaller than the others.
In the forebay the low sunlight intensified the colors of the COMMON
MOORHEN and CINNAMON TEAL.
There were 2 BLACK SKIMMERS on the island in the SE corner of Salt
Pond A1. At one point the AMERICAN AVOCENTS and FORSTER'S TERNS were
stirred up from the island, and a minute later a saw a large gull fly
over with a baby bird in its mouth. A group of 22 COMMON RAVENS
flew low above the service road trail, bringing back memories of a
certain Hitchcock movie (I know, those were Shearwaters in the movie).
In the distance, across Salt Pond A1, there were at least half a
dozen AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS.
Shoreline Lake had SURF SCOTERS as usual. A downy AMERICAN AVOCET
foraged in the puddles back at the Charleston Slough trailhead. All
in all, a beautiful evening at the bay.
