[EBB Sightings] Finds and refinds.

This morning at 8 a.m., the male Eurasian Wigeon was near the pond 200 yds E of the
 NE corner of the parking lot at the Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore, with about  100
American Wigeons.  From Hwy 580, exit at Airway Blvd, turn right on Clubhouse Road.
I could see the Eurasian Wigeon from my car, while on Clubhouse Road.

At  9:30 a.m., Adele and I saw an Eurasian Collared-Dove  at Murrieta's well in 
Livermore.  From Hwy 580, exit at S. Vasco Rd, go 2 mi to Tesla, then right 1 mi 
to Mines Rd, then left 0.25 mi to the entrance rd to Murrieta's Well.  Drive or 
walk in, and listen for the distinctive coo-coo.....coo.  Early a.m. is best.

At 11 a.m., Adele and I saw at least 4 Mountain Bluebirds at m.p. 7.52  on 
Patterson Pass Road E of Livermore, where they were reported yesterday.  From 
Hwy 580, exit at S. Vasco, go S about 1 mi to Patterson Pass Rd, go left.
Look for Horned Larks at m.p. 5.9, and many Shrikes, Kestrels and Red-tailed 
Hawks.

Tuesday at 10 a.m., Adele and I saw one Short-eared Owl on Byron Hot Springs Rd, 
which is about 1 mi W of the Tracy-Byron Highway on Holey Road (very hard to see 
on a big S-curve), in Contra Costa County.  The owls were reported by Kathy 
Robertson on Jan 15 and by Clark Stanton on Jan 20.

Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., I saw the male Blue-winged Teal in Saddleback Pond, at 
the intersection of Dalton and Ames Roads N of Livermore.  From Hwy 580, exit on 
North Vasco, go N about 2 mi to Dalton, go W about 1 mi to Broadmoor, turn left
and park as near Dalton as possible.  Walk across Dalton, and look in the pond
there, and ,in the N end of the pond , from Ames.  This bird was reported by Hugh
Harvey and Eugenia Larson on January 23.

Good Birding,
