[SBB] Stevens Creek N of Crittenden bridge

[Jim Thomas <[[email protected]]>]

I walked from Crittenden bridge to the mouth of Stevens Creek this 
morning. At least eight BROWN PELICANS were mixed in with about 120 
swimming WHITE PELICANS. At least three SAVANNAH SPARROWS were along the 
trail. On B1 near the mouth of the creek were one each female 
BUFFLEHEAD, GREATER SCAUP, and LESSER SCAUP, floating with about 20 
RUDDY DUCKS. I arrived at the creek mouth just after low tide (most of 
the 10000+ shore birds were too far away for me, though some moved 
closer as the tide came in -- I suspect being there as the tide receded 
would be better). I didn't ID anything unusual among 100s to 1000s each 
of Marbled Godwits, Long-billed Curlews, Willets, Western Sandpipers, 
and American Avocets -- and four Black-bellied Plovers. Three RED-NECKED 
PHALAROPES were on Crittenden Marsh. I saw just one GREATER YELLOWLEGS 
and no Least Terns.
