All: This morning, September 13 {Did you notice that Friday-The-Thirteenth fell on a Thursday this month?}, there were two White-faced Ibis in the first Lockheed Marsh, as seen from the hilltop west of the parking lot of the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant. Some of the Vaux’s Swifts were still in evidence, but flying higher than they were yesterday. There were a great many American White Pelicans, especially in the A3W pond to the west. There were even some Brown Pelicans shallow-angle plunge-diving in the West Pond. Both the East and West Ponds currently had a great many ducks, but I noted no rarities. It’s been my experience that the early-arriving ducks tend to stop in these close ponds, but then gradually disperse to the more remote ponds; it’s the start of the hunting season that brings them back. There were almost no shorebirds on the algae mats. Incidentally, for those wishing to go clockwise around the West Pond, it’s probably best that, halfway out the pipeline road, you cross over to the west edge of the West Pond. Frank Vanslager |
