[SBB] Baird's Sandpiper in Gilroy Water Treatmrnt Facility

[[[email protected]]]

All,

 

This morning Pat Kenny, Roland Kenner, Janna Pauser, Frank Vanslager and I had a juvenile BAIRD'S SANDPIPER in the southeastern most water bearing pond (near the "hill" and the facility entrance) in the Gilroy Water Treatment Facility.  Later Mike Mammoser re-found the bird in the northeastern most pond in the facility (200 yd's north of where it was first seen).  We also had 4 to 5 WILSON'S SNIPE each in two widely separated ponds (total 8-10 WISN).  At least two WILSON'S PHALAROPE joined the RED-NECKED PHALAROPES (it trying to look like a Lesser Yellowlegs as it fed with GREATER YELLOWLEGS), LESSER YELLOWLEGS (2), "peeps," and KILLDEER in these two ponds.  A PEREGRINE FALCON was briefly seen standing in a dry section of one "pond," unfortunately it flew before we could get a closer look.  Apparently the two Mute Swans left the facility about a week ago. 

 

Take care,

Bob Reiling
