[EBB Sightings] Flamingo & more-Coyote Hills-GGAS Bicycle Bird-Sat Aug 2

Quarry Lakes/Alameda Creek/Coyote Hills GGAS Bicycle Birding Trip
Fremont, Alameda County - Saturday, August 4, 2007
Leader: Kathy Jarrett
Trip Report: Seven of us covered 23 miles from the Fremont BART Station
to the Shoreline Trail and back. The Shoreline Trail skirts the salt
ponds west of Coyote Hills EBRP, and was where we saw an amazing number
of birds including both resident pelican species, Forster?s and Least
Terns, Western Sandpipers, DC Cormorant, GB Heron, Great and Snowy
Egrets, Kildeer, Avocets and Stilts, Gr. Yellowlegs, Dowitchers, LB
Curlew, Marbled Godwit, Gulls, Barn Swallows and one Flamingo which had
been seen there once before by one of the participants. It was one of
those rare days when the wind was light enough to make it pleasant,
although we could have done without the smell.
