[SBB] Sunnyvale WCP 1/5, Palo Alto Baylands 1/6

I've got the photos up from my trip to the Sunnyvale WCP on 1/5.  
thanks to everyone who  helped out on those ID's.

Also, in my new year's attempt to see how many afternoons I can sneak  
away from work before my boss has me shot, I spent Friday afternoon  
up in Palo Alto at the Baylands and duck pond. Photos that for are here:

It was very low tide at the time and pretty quiet. Shorebirds  
included the black-necked stile, Avocets and the (I'm pretty sure)  
Least Sandpiper, plus a plover I never got ID'd. Scoping the bay  
showed a couple of hundred Northern Shovelers in a couple of large  
rafts. Rail Alley was quiet, but the Song Sparrows were in full  
throat (and one clearly looking for a handout). Near the sail dock I  
also saw a couple of red-winged blackbirds, and the channel primarily  
had Willets, with a few avocets wandering around feeding, and a  
Western Gull that refused to let me use the bridge until I took his  
picture...

FWIW, I keep running into friendly folks enjoying the walks (as I am)  
-- and I have no idea if any of them are you. If you run into a guy  
wearing a blue Tilley's hat carrying a large lens, it's probably me,  
so say hi if you want.

Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties
are largely ceremonial.
