[SBB] weekend birds

["Steve and Heather Rottenborn" <[[email protected]]>]

Yesterday (28 Jan), I spent a couple of hours at salt pond A16 near the EEC 
in Alviso looking at gulls.  Dean Manley was there when I arrived, and after 
he left I walked toward the southwest corner of the pond, finding a very 
slender, long-winged first-cycle Glaucous Gull on the fourth island (the 
southwestern-most of the four islands).  Mike Rogers arrived later, and went 
to the southwest corner to find an obviously different second-cycle Glaucous 
Gull on the fourth island.  Gulls were streaming through all afternoon, and 
turnover was fairly high.  No sign of the Slaty-backed from two weeks ago, 
although seeing all the gulls streaming by north of A16 made it clear that 
we were seeing less than 1% of the gulls in the far South Bay in A16.

Today (29 Jan), there were 85 Wood Ducks, 5 Common Mergansers, a Rock Wren, 
and several Rufous-crowned Sparrows at the dam at Coyote Lake.
