[SBB] Red Knots still present 8/22/06

[Mike Rogers <[[email protected]]>]

All,

Yesterday evening 8/22/06, I biked out to the Stevens Creek mouth and 
scoped the shorebirds foraging on the mudflats as the tide fell. At 
least 7 RED KNOTS were present, including 4 adults (mostly fading 
alternate plumage with some salmon in the underparts, but one was all 
gray with worn/faded primaries and dropped tertials) and 3 juveniles 
(pale whitish fringes to tertials and coverts). Other birds of possible 
interest included 6 immature BROWN PELICANS, 1 WHIMBREL, and at least 
one juvenile WILLET among many adults.

DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS were still at the nests on the towers in Salt 
Pond A2W to the west, but I could not determine whether young were still 
in the nests or not.
