The bird was making an almost continuous loud, sharp call as it bobbed it's tail. Shortly after seeing the bird I started to leave, not wanting to flush it, but it chose to followed me as I headed east, stopping in three different trees near me and eventually flying to the base of some reeds on the near side of the marsh (still calling, probably happy that "he" had driven me off). Later at Shoreline Lake I became aware, seemingly for the first time, of the unusual markings of first winter male SURF SCOTERS there. At Arzino Ranch there were two CACKLING GEESE with the twenty or so CANADA GEESE there. Hundreds of gulls were also taking advantage of the wet areas on the ranch (thanks to our recent rain). At the Environmental Education Center a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL was on the south-western edge of Salt Pond A18. I watched as the gull sat down and so thinking it would stay put I decided to move to a better location for photography. You guessed it, I never saw the gull again. I did, however, find a more cooperative, nesting ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD in a tree just east of the brown car gate.
