[SBB] some Alviso birds



This morning (Wed, 5/16) I met another birder, Bert Campos, out on Alviso Salt Pond #16 where we saw a juvenile GLAUCOUS GULL.  It was a large all-pale gull with buffy/biscuit-colored overtones.  Its head was flatish.  It had a distinctly bi-colored bill - pink with a black tip, and its legs were of a lighter pink color.  Its eyes were dark.  We saw the gull roosting on the second island which has a white pole sticking up at the end.
 
We also noted several female-type YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS associating with Red-winged Blackbirds in the New Chicago Marsh.
 
I also saw a migrant W. WOOD-PEWEE in the cottonwoods near the Barn Owl box.
 
I did not see any phalaropes on this visit.
