[SBB] CBRC and rare local gulls.

Folks

 

  For those of you who have been following the Slaty-backed Gull situation from last year, the CBRC (California Bird Records Committee) accepted all reported birds, 13 in all! This includes the Alviso bird, which is therefore the first accepted county record for that one, and the Alameda bird, again a new county record. The rest of the Slaty-backs were all from Half Moon Bay, at the now infamous Venice Beach. The Iceland Gull from Milpitas two winters back was accepted as well. I thought folks on these lists might be interested in these results. We shall see if this year is another good one for Slaty-backed in the region.

 

By the way, the Dusky Canada Goose at the mouth of Frenchman’s Creek (Venice Beach, Half Moon Bay) is still there. It now seems to like swimming up the creek, so it is not as obvious as it was earlier in December.

 

Good birding
