    A Snow Goose was at the Martinez Estuary this afternoon.  The bird was in
    the tiny grass lawn, adjacent to the revamped parking lot at "Granger�s
    Wharf"  associating with 5 Canada Goose.  Semipalmated Plover continue to
    winter here, visible when the mud flats are exposed.
    
    The Granger�s Wharf parking lot is at the end of Berrellesa Street as
    described here:  http://www.diabloaudubon.com/places/G.html.    The new
    parking lot is not open yet, but you can park along the road on Berrellesa
    Street.
    
    For anyone who has marveled at the 5-6 Black-crowned Night-Heron roosting
    in this area, take note that �improvement� of the new parking lot (tree
    cutting) appears to have uprooted them from their roosting trees.  I hope
    that they have not left the park entirely, so if you relocate
    Black-crowned Night-Heron in this park, please report it.
    
    Lastly, Allen�s Hummingbirds are coming through Monterey & Santa Cruz now,
    so they should be here soon.
