[SBB] Alviso highlights

[Barry Langdon-Lassagne <[[email protected]]>]

Ginger and I did some birding in Alviso from 8:30am to 10:30am today,  
where we got good looks at a WILSON'S WARBLER and LINCOLN'S SPARROW  
in the eastern corner of the small marsh in the Northeast corner of  
237 and Gold Street.

The Environmental Education Center in Alviso had a conspicuous OSPREY  
on the drive in, and FOX SPARROW and WESTERN KINGBIRD near the  
parking area. 25 WHITE PELICANS sat at the far end of the first  
island on Salt Pond A16; 15 or so more White Pelicans flew to the  
north as well. At least one BARN OWL was sleeping in the owl box. We  
saw a male-female pair of BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS in the garden, as  
well as AMERICAN GOLDFINCH and WHITE- and GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS.

Salt Pond A16 also had several EARED GREBES, two BUFFLEHEAD, several  
NORTHEN PINTAIL and AMERICAN WIGEON (at the far side). We saw  
NORTHERN HARRIER at least twice during our hike. We also managed to  
see five species of Swallow (TREE, BARN, CLIFF, NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED  
and VIOLET-GREEN).

Our total species count for Alviso today was 62.
