| All, This morning we did some scouting for the Fall Challenge. The Waterfowl numbers have climbed considerably since my last visit to SWPCP two weeks ago. We saw one GREATER and one LESSER SCAUP, both of which were hanging out near the pump station past the radar station. A small flock of AMERICAN WIGEONS flew over and landed in the west pond. There are still many RED-NECKED PHALAROPES present. Small numbers of VAUX'S SWIFTS were foraging over the marsh, and both SORA and VIRGINIA RAILS made appearances. Both BROWN and WHITE PELICANS were seen as well as three GREEN HERONS. A single CASPIAN TERN flew over us at one point. We found three YELLOW WARBLERS as well. These ponds will be one of our many stops on September 29 when "The DeDUCKtions" sets out on the SFBBO Fall Challenge. There's still time to join or sponsor our team, which has a $3000 challenge-grant. Please help our team get the full amount of the challenge from the donor by pledging your support. You'll be helping the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory's research and conservation efforts with every dollar you pledge. http://www.sfbbo.org/support/fall_challenge07.php . . . Matthew Dodder |
