[EBB Sightings] Black Skimmers roosting in Alameda today

EBBers:

At noon today three Black Skimmers were loafing on the small rock 
breakwater at the entrance to Ballena Isle Marina.  Park at the end of 
McKay Ave in Alameda, and walk to the water's edge at Robert Crown 
Memorial State Beach.  This was the same general (at least) area where 
Phil Gordon reported 11 birds a week previous.

The breakwater was also a loafing spot for numerous other water birds 
just after high tide, which today was 6.5 ft at 9:36 am at the Golden 
Gate.
