[EBB Sightings] Spring at Pt Pinole RS

I spent a lovely morning at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline -- beautiful 
weather, beautiful birds.  I walked out to Cook's Point and back.  The 
birds were very active.  I saw over 40 species.

Birds of possible interest included:

2 WESTERN KINGBIRDS *
PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER *
Cedar Waxwings (large flock)
Western Bluebird pair
Common Yellowthroat *
Lincoln's Sparrow
BULLOCK'S ORIOLE pair

*=new for me for this location

The place was thick with Anna's Hummingbirds, including juveniles who were 
willing to come quite close.  I saw a female Anna's collecting something 
off the trail, a behavior I hadn't seen before -- perhaps ants?  I saw 
another female collecting moss.

There were lots of shorebirds, many in breeding plumage, at Cook's Point, 
but nothing out of the ordinary.

Good birding,
