--0-891252766-1114273016=:20309 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Unfortunately you are correct on the new construction, it is due to begin soon. There will be over one million tons of earth moved. My understanding is that there is a 1200+ unit complex (HOA) to be built. Please pray for the birds..... Brian Zeilerwrote:There has been an area of standing water all winter at the SE corner of Dublin Blvd and Iron Horse Parkway (the road, not the bike trail). For the past two months it's only hosted a pair of ducks as far as I can tell, but in the past two weeks, it's gotten popular with a couple stilts, a couple willets (I think, from a distance), and yesterday even a snowy egret. I usually park along Iron Horse Parkway and just noticed the popularity last week. Nothing unusual, but for those of you who go to Dublin BART, it's worth a look. It's amazing that some shorebirds spotted this little patch of standing water this far inland, and then the comfort level and interest only rises as passing birds see other birds hanging out in it. As an aside, construction is apparently about to begin in the grassy field on Dublin Blvd between DeMarcus and Iron Horse (the two entrance roads). I guess all those blackbirds will have to leave. They also tore up a big chunk of the field that has the standing water but it didn't scare off the shorebirds. Fortunately I've never seen any burrowing owls in those fields (but the Sybase owls are still visible almost daily). Brian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
