EBBers,

Arrowhead Marsh in Oakland at high tide this morning:  Along the marsh =
pier were the usual complement of rails.  Nine Clapper Rails, one Sora, =
and one Virginia Rail.  Somewhat surprisingly, a Merlin stood on the end =
of the pier for a time.  It departed to grab a sparrow-sized bird that =
flew over the open water near the end of the pier, fly to a nearby tree, =
and summarily consume it.  Finally, two Eurasian Wigeon were with a =
large duck flock hanging out in the southwest vernal pool in the =
mitigation area.

Good birding,

Bob Battagin
