[SBB] Fwd: Yellow-headed Blackbirds

[Les Chibana <[[email protected]]>]

Sorry for the lateness of this report. I didn't hear back with approval 
to forward to the list until just now. The sighting was on Friday, 
5/13, at 5:45p, at Byxbee Park, Palo Alto. This is the capped landfill 
to the north of the Palo Alto Flood Control Basin (PAFCB) and next to 
the PA Water Treatment Plant. The location of the sighting appears to 
have been at the edge of the PAFCB.
