[SBB] Geng Road pond to Shoreline

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

I made some stops today, 1/31/07, at some local birding areas (for 
me).  At the Geng Road pond in the morning, a male and 2 female 
HOODED MERGANSERS were asleep in the pond (in the afternoon they were 
sleeping on the shore).  Not much at the Palo Alto Baylands, although 
there were 100+ Bonaparte's Gulls to look through.  There were no 
skimmers on Charleston Slough and I saw no Blue-winged Teal in Adobe 
Creek.  I saw one male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE in the NW corner of 
Shoreline Lake.  In the overflow parking lot at Shoreline, there were 
many Canadas feeding on the lot.  When I walked around so I could see 
the backside of the nearer hill, I saw an adult and immature SNOW 
GOOSE in with a flock of Canadas.

In the afternoon, beyond the Geng Road pond on the Muni GC, were 5 
GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and 7 CACKLING GEESE (a mix, I think, of 
_minima_ and _leucopareia_).
