Re: [SBB] Alviso Cattle Egrets

I scouted the blackbirds about 4:45 this afternoon, and found a small
flock down on Disk drive near where it makes the turn and goes to ECC.
About 15 birds, at least three positively had yellow on or around the
heads (this was very near where the houses butt up against the street
near Spreckles). They were actually flitting between the two fields
across from each other on Disk down there, right on the roadway. Since
EEC was about to close (5PM for the gate), I didn't stop there today.
On the way back towards Jubilee, I had a flyover of at least 50
blackbirds, all showing the red shoulders, in a flock separate from
the one with the yellowheads.
