[SBB] Barrow's Goldeneyes (Shoreline Lake)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

I stopped at Shoreline Lake this morning, 11/21/06.  A pair of 
BARROW'S GOLDENEYES were in the northwest corner, not more than 30 
feet from the trail there.  I didn't see any there five days ago when 
I checked.  My count of Common Goldeneyes was 31, which is about the 
same as on 11/16.  Five Surf Scoters were on the lake, which means a 
couple of wintering birds have shown up, but nothing like we'll see 
in a month.  A SPOTTED SANDPIPER was on the shore and an adult BROWN 
PELICAN was foraging in the lake (an adult was here on 11/16 as 
well).  An adult RED-TAILED HAWK was breakfasting on a coot, while 
the surviving relatives stuck to the water.  I didn't see the 
Red-tail take the coot, but I can't imagine it is too difficult.
