Hi EBBs,

This morning Wild Bird Center in Walnut Creek had their monthly birdwalk =
at Lake Merrit in Oakland.  We saw the previously reported ducks and =
waterbirds in residence for the winter:  common goldeneye, Barrow's =
goldeneye (1), female tufted duck, pied-billed grebe, eared grebes, =
ruddy ducks, canvasbacks, greater and lesser scaup, great and snowy =
egrets, black-crowned night herons, mallards, great blue egret, Egyptian =
geese, coots, Canada geese, Herring, ring-billed and glaucous-winged =
gulls, ring-necked duck, double crested cormorants.  Most of the ducks =
were in great numbers on the lake.

At the tail end of the trip, about 10:00 am I saw a yellow warbler =
feeding in the purple salvia at the back of the Nature Center.  It =
looked to be a female or immature.  Wouldn't this be an unusually late =
sighting for this warbler?  I watched the bird for several minutes and =
left.  When I came back about 10 minutes later, it was gone.

We also saw many white crowned sparrows, adults and immatures.
