[SBB] Gilroy Water Treatment Facility & Kelly Park



All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I first went to the Gilroy Water treatment Facility where we found that because of a lowering of the water table (thru increased agricultural use) and an increase in the use of used (gray?) water only one slag pond had water in it and it had no "waterbirds."  Best birds were an adult PRAIRIE FALCON (made a pass at some KILLDEER and then perched on a power pole with burn damage located northeast of the office), several BLUE-WINGED TEAL (at least four adult males perched on the wooden barrier between the two ponds on the left as you enter the facility), a couple WILSON'S SNIPE (on the edge of these ponds), several CINNAMON TEAL and at least one partial eclipse male NORTHERN SHOVELER looking like a big male Blue-winged Teal.  We then went to and all over Kelly Park in an unsuccessful search for Eurasian Collared-Doves.  I could have been the wrong time of day or the wrong time of the year but we couldn't even find MODOs. 
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
