[SBB] Windy birding, CCFS and New Chicago Marsh

[[[email protected]]]

All,

 

This morning Frank Vanslager and I first checkout the CCFS "Waterbird Pond" which contrary to recent information IS STILL DRY!  Some work has been done across the road from the pond removing a bridge to nowhere, but water was not going into the pond at high tide [when water used to enter the pond].  I various areas along Coyote Creek we had 3-4 YELLOW WARBLERS, a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER and a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, a couple WESTERN FLYCATCHERS, a couple CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES and a couple BEWICK'S WRENS [pretty sloooow birding].  We then went to New Chicago Marsh where in a half mile search up the RR tracks we failed to relocate the Ruffs {we did have several RED-NECKED PHALAROPES and at least one WILSON'S PHALAROPE].  We then went to EEC boardwalk where we had one DUNLIN and one SNOWY PLOVER with the rest of the "peeps."

 

Take care,

Bob Reiling
