[EBB Sightings] A very birdy morning on Emeryville Peninsula

Good Morning 
   
  Twas a very birdy morning on Emeryville Peninsula. Highlights include:
    
   At least two Common Loons - one fearlessly prowling the shore just 6 feet from the footpath.  
   Caspian Terns - fishing and, one couple at least, engaging in what I assume to be pair bonding flight-play.  
   Lots of American Goldfinch - perched and singing; flying and calling.  
   An Anna's Hummer collecting a beak-full of cotton fluff from a parking lot weed.  
   Some pretty dramatic looking Horned Grebes.  
   Lots of Least Sandpiper and two very sexy looking Western Sandpipers resplendent in their alternate plumage.
  A great day to test my new bino!
   
  Have a nice day.
  Cheers
  Peter
