Started in the Morgan Hill area. At the Ogier Ponds were three Redhead Ducks among others. Along Bailey Road east of the IBM building were two perched Golden Eagles on the electrical towers. Across the road from IBM were 50+ Canada Geese and one White-fronted Goose. Along Santa Teresa Blvd just south of Bailey on the west side perched in a tree was a Peregrine Falcon. At the end of the first little dead end road leading east off Santa Teresa Blvd south of Bailey was a FERRUGINOUS HAWK. Along the west side of Santa Teresa Blvd north of Bailey Road about 2 miles was a large field mostly flooded and among the ducks was a nice male Blue-winged Teal. I went over to the Coyote Golf Course which I found out you can only get to from Hwy 101. In a large pond just west of the clubhouse were two WILSON'S SNIPE along the shoreline. I checked several reported locations, but finally found three genuine CACKLING GEESE on the north shore area of Lake Cunningham (take Tully Road east off Hwy 101). There were probably 50-60 Canadian Geese in the park area around the lake. Next I went over to Shoreline (end of San Antonio exit east off Hwy 101). Barrow's Goldeneyes, Horned Grebes, Red-breasted Merganser, etc. Couldn't find pond A1 or the "old yacht harbor" so I couldn't look for the Tufted Duck or Mew Gulls. But I went over to the Alviso area taking Zanker Road off Hwy 237 and following it north. Along the way, I passed a water treatment plant. Perched along the rails of the "stirring machines" were several MEW GULLS. Finally, in the area of Zanker Road and Los Esteros Roads on top of a high electrical tower, was a PRAIRIE FALCON.
