    Today at high tide (10:00 AM) the Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow was =
    again seen at the end of the island just west of the boardwalk.  Also =
    seen were at least 8 Clapper Rails, 3 Soras, and 1 Virginia Rail.  While =
    scoping the ducks and gulls in the southern portion of the fenced tidal =
    area, I found a juvenile Peregrine Falcon sitting on a small mound of =
    dirt across the water.  It eventually flew through the Avocet flock in a =
    seemingly half-hearted manner, after which it flew across the picnic =
    area and on towards the Oakland Estuary.  I lost it in the distance, but =
    did see the flock of Willets and Godwits down near Harbor Bay Parkway.
