[EBB Sightings] Hooded Mergansers in Moraga

Sunday morning there was a beautiful pair of Hooded Mergansers in the 
quite high Moraga Creek, seen from the bike trail about 200 yards 
upstream (north) from Canyon Road. The trail and creek can be accessed 
from Canyon Road  just south of Camino Pablo or next to the bridge on 
Country Club Drive behind the fire station.

A lower section of the creek can be accessed from Valle Vista staging 
area. The mergansers probably can be anywhere along the creek, which is 
not accessible between Canyon Road and the bridge reached from Valle 
Vista. There commonly are Wood Ducks around and below that bridge.
