All: There have been some questions about the Flamingo in Coyote Hills Regional Park. Here’s what little I know. It was visible in binos. It was near the western shore of the salt pond west of the Bay View Trail. It was a hundred feet, or so, north of the line of pilings that extends eastward almost across to the Bay View Trail (just about where the Soaproot Trail intersects with the Bay View Trail.) I got some good views in the Questar when it extended its bright red and black wings, but I got so excited that I failed to note the bill colors. The bird then went to sleep with its head under its wings. Since Dave Kutilek was the one to bring the bird to my attention, I tried to have him run the 5-miles around to reawaken the bird, but he declined the honor. A rough consensus thought that it was a Greater Flamingo but, in any case, it is probably an escapee. The one 2 years ago in Salt Pond A-14 was a Chilean Flamingo. Frank Vanslager |
