[EBB Sightings] Berkeley Marina empidonax flycatchers

Birders,

This morning I observed two species of empids at the Berkeley Marina.

There were two "Western" Flycatchers in the meadow area.  Starting from the 
entrance at the southeast corner of the meadow (across from the Seabreeze 
Restaurant), go along the north-south pathway (roughly parallel to the 
Highway 80 frontage road) to approximately 100 feet short of the "What Am I 
Standing On" interpretive sign.  These two flycatchers were in the Coyote 
Brush on both sides of the trail.

There was a Willow Flycatcher near the Berkeley Pier anchorage.  Starting at 
the corner of University Ave. and Seawall Drive walk southeast into the 
trees and shrubs, going about 200-300 feet until you reach a swale with 
willows and a birdhouse on a 15 foot wooden post.  The Willow Flycatcher was 
perching in the surrounding pines and hawking insects flying in the area of 
the swale.

Good birding,
