Birding conditions at Hayward Shoreline were about perfect on July 4th: warm
with a light breeze.

I spent several hours after 3 pm at Frank's Dump West (high tide was 6.8' at
5pm).

Birds seen included:

Red Knots (both red and not) - southwest island
Wilson's Phalarope (1) in alternate plumage - southwest island
Surfbird (1) in alternate plumage - southwest island
Least Terns (2) flyover
Snowy Plovers (19) north end
Whimbrels (3-4) north end
Caspian Tern (1) flyover
Western Sandpipers
Semipalmated Plovers

The usual suspects were also present - relatively small numbers compared to
what we can expect later in the season.
