[EBB Sightings] oct 30 GGAS fremont bicycle trip

Alameda Creek/Coyote Hills/Quarry Lakes GGAS Bicycle
Birding Trip - Saturday, October 30, 2004
Starting from the Isherwood  EBRPD staging area at
8:15, we had a most excellent day of birding. At
Quarry Lakes EBRP, close looks at a Kestrel and a
Sharp-shinned Hawk, Black-Crowned Night Herons in
their usual perches at Willow Slough, and a Say�s
Phoebe. On the Alameda Creek Trail the prize for the
day was a Virginia Rail, spotted at the Beard Staging
Area, about a mile east of I-880. At Coyote Hills EBRP
we found another Virginia Rail and some Common
Moorhens, Red-tailed Hawks, White-tailed Kites, a
Loggerhead Shrike and a large group of White Pelicans.
We saw (or at least heard) about 66 birds.
