[SBB] Bayside notables



All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I had three juvenile PEREGRINE FALCONS on the power towers in the Sunnyvale Water Treatment Facility (two on the same tower and a third two towers away).  At Arzino Ranch we had a CATTLE EGRET (with the horses) and a Burrowing Owl while the first island on Salt Pond A16 had a "pair" of adult BLACK SKIMMERS (one much larger than the other).  Today was also the first time that I've really noticed the breeding plumage on PIED-BILLED GREBES (that is the black at the base of the chin and throat as well as the black at the base of the lower mandible).  Even I have noticed the black band on the bill before, duh!, but not the whiteness of the bill, the eye-ring and the lores.  Quite striking for a non-notable.
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
