[EBB Sightings] Willow Flycather at Valle Vista/Upper San Leandro Res.

Hi EB Birders,

A walk around Valle Vista/Upper San Leandro Reservoir
was somewhat productive this morning.  A WILLOW
FLYCATCHER  was just beyond the horse stables, low and
within a few feet of the dirt road.   

On the way home I stopped at the Moraga Farmer's
Market.  I doubt many of the shoppers realize there
was a GOLDEN EAGLE making swoops and dives about 500
feet up, right over their heads.
