[EBB Sightings] Birding at Lake Merrit - Invite to Trial Run

Hi all:

Ryan Terrill posted to Calbirds, among other fun
sightings, a male and female Tufted Duck  at  Lake Merrit
seen on Monday.  fyi,  
Bob Power, no relation to Hilary.  
And, as I understand the split, which could be
completely erroneous, the Powers clan went into beer
making and the Power clan went into whiskey.  Lumpers
and splitters.
