[EBB Sightings] arrowhead marsh and more

Arrowhead Marsh GGAS Bicycle Trip
  Saturday, June 10, 2006
  Leader: Kathy Jarrett
   
  Trip Report: 43 species seen between East Creek Trailhead near High St. and Tidewater in Oakland, on the trail south to Arrowhead Marsh then north on Doolittle Dr. to Bay Farm Island and ending at Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary in Alameda. It was a cool and generally overcast 16 miles, but with lots of nice surprises: baby coots, juvenile stilts and avocets at the Edgewater Seasonal Wetland at Garretson Point, and a Horned Grebe near shore at the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary.
