[EBB Sightings] Fremont had White Pelicans also - white pelicans in San Pablo Reservoir

Today 10/4 around the noon hour in Fremont, on Fremont Ave and Gateway
Ave in the sky there was 15 White Pelicans in a flight circle mixed in
with a few dozen gulls. It was the lunch hour and I was driving to lunch
so I was unable to ID the Gulls.

Subject: [EBB Sightings] white pelicans in San Pablo Reservoir


Walking on Inspiration Trail from Inspiration Point at Wildcat Canyon
Road this morning, before reaching San Pablo Dam Road, I saw six White
Pelicans resting on the shore near the southern end of San Pablo
Reservoir.

Also, there was a flurry of activities in a pond to the southeast of the
trail. At one point, the tiny pond had 5 species:

Great Blue Heron,
Mallard, a pair
Killdeer, 2
Greater Yellowlegs,
Spotted Sandpiper

Later a Black Phoebe showed up briefly, and a male American Kestrel
tried and failed to catch any of the Western Meadowlarks foraging on the
shore of the pond.

Inspiration Trail is in EBMUD watershed; hiking permit is required.
