[SBB] Female common merganser in San Tomas Aquino Creek

[Francesca Pardo Berger <[[email protected]]>]

I saw a female common merganser hanging out with a group of mallards in
San Tomas Aquino Creek at 7:30AM this morning.  I haven't seen
mergansers here before.  The location was behind Great America, between
Mission College and Tasman.  

Otherwise the birds were all among the usual suspects this morning.  I
did not see the kingfisher that I was seeing there a couple months ago.
