[EBB Sightings] Peregrine at Pt Isabel

This morning (Wednesday, about 9am) I saw a single Peregrine Falcon 
perched on the westernmost of the two radio towers at Pt Isabel.  It was 
about halfway up the tower.  I was following up on the sighting made 
yesterday by Doug Greenberg. Thanks!  FYI, Pt Isabel is near the Central 
Avenue Exit off 80 or 580 in Richmond/Albany, next to the Costco.

There was also a Clark's grebe in the water nearby, along with scaups and 
buffleheads.

Over the winter months there have been two pair of Cinnamon Teal at the Damon Slough Mitigation Area adjacent to Garrettson Point in Oakland off the 880 South  Zhone Way exit.  Make a right at the exit to a parking area less than one block from the exit and walk over the bridge visible from the lot to the Mitigation Area.
