All,

SAN MATEO COUNTY
Brian Christman and I birded Coyote Point today, finding the tide low  
enough to attract numerous shorebirds to the mud near the boat  
harbor. Highlights there included BLACK OYSTERCATCHER, BLACK and  
RUDDY TURNSTONE, RED KNOT and WHIMBREL. Diving ducks were numerous,  
but consisted of SURF SCOTERS, COMMON GOLDENEYE, BUFFLEHEADS, GREATER  
SCAUPS and RUDDY DUCKS. One SPOTTED SANDPIPER was seen along the beach.

We then headed to Redwood Shores, stopping first at at the Nobb Hill  
Grocery store pond. There we located a BLUE-WINGED TEAL and numerous  
AMERICAN WIGEONS as well as many NORTHERN SHOVERLERS, NORTHERN  
PINTAILS, CINNAMON and GREEN-WINGED TEAL.

The Redwood Shores/Radio Road area produced three BLACK SKIMMERS,  
another BLUE-WINGED TEAL and a group of 5 HOODED MERGANSERS. WILLET,  
MARBLED GODWIT and Dowitchers were abundant at both locations.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY
After lunch we visited Shoreline Park, to search for BARROW'S  
GOLDENEYE, which was easily picked out on the Charleston Slough side.  
We spotted a male and female, as well as a male hybrid  
Barrow'sXCommon. On the nearby salt pond A1 we scoped a distant drake  
EURASIAN WIGEON on the far side among the many Americans.
