[SBB] Alviso phalaropes

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

Yesterday (22 April), a Red-necked Phalarope was in New Chicago Marsh at 
State and Spreckles.  A loop around Alviso salt ponds A9-A15 (reached from 
the Alviso marina) produced hundreds of lingering scaup of both species, as 
well as a few Canvasbacks, American Wigeon, Green-winged Teal, and 
Red-breasted Mergansers.  Several Herring and Glaucous-winged Gulls, as well 
as a first-cycle Thayer's Gull, were still around as well.  About 200 
Bonaparte's Gulls were at scattered locations in Alviso.  Northern Harriers 
were nest-building in the marsh along Coyote Slough.

This morning (23 April), there were 9 Red-necked Phalaropes in the 
impoundment along the railroad tracks north of the Alviso marina and east of 
salt pond A12.  Elsewhere around the ponds were 3 more Red-necked Phalaropes 
and a Brown Pelican.
