One was an immature, the others apparently adults. (They were almost always feeding, but I think I had adequate looks at the bills.) There were also several hundred Gulls in the flooded fields here -- of the 100 closest to the Jubilee Church, nearly all were MEW GULLs, and that might also be true of the rest. Earlier, after missing the Roadrunner at the Alviso Marina, I found one SANDERLING on the second island in salt pond A16 (behind the EEC); I don't think it stuck around. [I also encountered more than half a dozen dead gulls on the levee -- are there coyotes or something going out there?] A morning trip to southern San Jose was less successful, missing in attempts at Great-tailed Grackle (Coyote Creek G.C.), Ferruginous Hawk (at Richmond, and I did check the fields east of Santa Teresa as Jenna mentioned) and Bald Eagle (Calero, where some haze was a problem). But I did see an adult GOLDEN EAGLE atop the nest-site transmission tower along McKean Road. Al Eisner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
