[SBB] Three Pectorals at Alviso EEC

["D Weber" <[[email protected]]>]

Hi Birders-

 

I whipped over to Alviso to get some excellent Mexican food from the taco truck on First St (it really is excellent). But of course I stopped at the EEC. No Baird's on the way in, but from the boardwalk I spotted three Pectoral Sandpipers. They were on the tiny islands separating the near water from the far water. They stayed put for a while, even giving me time to get the scope from the car. I was able to see the white stripes on the back, streaky breast, and orange in the bill. Unfortunately while I wasn't looking, there was a commotion among the smaller birds there and I couldn't relocate the Pectorals. Hopefully they'll return. The island on the salt pond was crowded with terns, gulls, stilts, and pelicans. I could not see the Black Skimmer chicks.

 

Dave Weber,

Milpitas
