[SBB] Gilroy WTP, LLagas Creek

["Roland Kenner" <[[email protected]]>]

This morning Pat Kenny and I went down to the Gilroy water treatment plant 
on Southside Drive.  (They ask that you sign in at the administration 
building which opens at 7am.)  The southern part of the plant forms an 
east-south "L", and we saw a male GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE on the south side of 
the pond/marsh in the corner of the "L".  Later in the day we saw a female 
carrying something over this same marsh.  Near the Llagas Creek end of the 
tree line at the south end of the treatment plant ponds, we had brief looks 
at a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT after it and a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK seemed to get 
in a shouting match.  Walking north on the west levee of Llagas Creek, we 
saw a female BUFFLEHEAD in the second(?) pond north.  A WHITE-FACED IBIS in 
the third(?) pond.  We later saw presumably the same bird flying over the 
treatment plant, eventually headed north past the plant.

As we drove north from the plant, we stopped at the first pond on the right 
that has water in it and saw two closely associating SPOTTED SANDPIPERs, one 
slightly larger than the other.
