Re: [SBB] Continuing Little Blue Heron

[Chuq Von Rospach <[[email protected]]>]

Shortly after 9:15 this morning (Sat. 6/17) I saw the LITTLE BLUE HERON about 100 Yds downstream of the Coleman Ave bridge over Alamitos Creek below Lake Almaden (at the confluence of a small creek to the west and not far from someone fishing). 

Laurie and I wandered down about noon and circumnavigated the lake between then and about 2:30. No sign of the little blue or the cattle egret, it was definitely not in sight where Bob saw it by 12:30 or so. 

We saw the birds everyone else is seeing (which is comforting). One bird we saw that hasn't been mentioned (or mentioned much) was Pied-billed grebe, hanging out near the island; also what seemed to be a baby (downy) coot swimming around. Looking at the babies in one of the nests, they seem a bit behind those in palo alto. 

also notable, at least to me, was a complete lack of cormorants. I found that odd for a lake that size.
