Between 7:30 - 8:30 am today birded the M. Reg Shoreline. 
  I scoped a flock of 30 or so Goldeneyes from the extreme western end of the park and easily distinguished at least 5 male Barrow's Goldeneye mixed with Common males and many females of both species. No hybrids discerned.
   
  I failed to refind the G White fronted Geese. Of course the domesticated Graylag and Swan type geese along with the Whities and various mutt ducks and mallards were at the duck pond where I also saw 3 Canvasback and a Ruddy.
   
  Among the Canada Geese of various sizes, there were again the 2 distinctively diminutive Cackling Geese which seem to always stay together and keep their distance from their larger relatives(at the Arch Bridge) This flock seems to travel between Alhambra Creek and the ball fields to east.
   
  I saw only one of the Bc Night-Herons in the Monterey Pines, but did not check the area thouroghly.
