[SBB] Brant in Adobe Creek at Charleston Slough, 5/6/07

[Gordon Barrett <[[email protected]]>]

At 12:15 today a BRANT was seen and photographed in Adobe Creek where 
the line of posts extends toward Palo Alto Baylands just beyond the 
"Diversity" informational placard on the path.  (0.25 miles from the 
Cliff Swallow Nests)  It was "black bellied."  The water level in the 
creek was as low as I've seen it, with very few ducks.  The slough 
was a mud flat with almost no birds except on the island where the 
Terns are nesting next to the Avocets.  A very un-birdy day.
