[SBB] Shoreline

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

Folks:

This morning, 10/25/06, there was a feeding frenzy of AM. WHITE 
PELICANS in salt ponds A1 and A2W.  I counted 310 in A1 and 480 in 
A2W.  A few minutes earlier I noted 100-200 in the southern frontage 
pond in the Palo Alto FCB.  These are not high numbers for a typical 
fall, but we've had few concentrations this year.  I also counted 22 
BROWN PELICANS, 51 GREAT EGRETS, and 19 SNOWY EGRETS also working the 
fish bloom.  There were probably 500-1000 gulls, mostly Californias 
and Westerns that were hanging around the feeding flocks.  There were 
two BURROWING OWLS on the mound across from Michaels.

At Shoreline Lake I noted an EARED GREBE, a GREATER SCAUP (the 
permanent injured male), and four SURF SCOTERS.  Ron Thorn had large 
flocks of Surf Scoters moving south into the Bay this week, but 
they've not yet reached Shoreline Lake.
