[EBB Sightings] Black Skimmer at Coyote Hills

A lovely (and noisy) adult black skimmer was just 1/4 mile from the 
Toll Booth at the east end of the Dumbarton booth on Sunday at 3 p.m.

The trail is marked "closed" from the toll booth end.  I got there from 
the park headquarters end, biking all the way out then following the 
trail to the left (but where it rejoins the mainland, turning right 
directly towards Hwy. 84).

There was a long narrow exposed area parallel to the trail.  Lots of 
avocets, marbled godwits, and willets, and a few smaller birds.  Was a 
common murre here 3 weeks ago.
