[EBB Sightings] Condor

Hi East Bay birders,

I searched unsuccessfully for about 2 hours this morning for the CA
Condor reported in Livermore. I waited until it warmed up a bit to allow
the soaring birds to get up and moving. I've never spent so much time
looking at Turkey Vulture's! I drove Cocannon, Robertson Park, Wente Rd,
Marina Rd, Veterans Hospital, Del Valle Dam, Pigeon Pass and Isabella
Ave. no sign of a condor. I did see Red-tailed Hawk, Sharp-shinned,
Coopers, Red-shoulder and a Golden Eagle. I've never seen a CA Condor
but a bird standing 47 inches tall with a wingspan of 9 feet shouldn't
be too difficult to spot. 

This morning I had a flock of approx 25 Pine Siskin's at the thistle
feeder and one or two throughout the day.
