[EBB Sightings] Black Skimmer still at Pt. Isabel on Thursday, August 9, 2007

Friends!
At least one Black Skimmer was at the same place as reported this past week 
at Pt. Isabel Regional trail, bayside of the dilapitated pier just before 
Meeker Slough in Richmond, on Thursday, August 9, 2007, at 12:30pm. I also 
saw an Osprey, feasting on a very big, silvery fish (striped bass? salmon?) 
on the outer rocks at the same site (thanks to Dennis, who drew my attention 
to it). Lots of Semipalmated Plovers, Least and Western Sandpipers, many 
Willets, Marbled Godwits, several Long-billed Curlews and Double-crested 
Cormorants. After three very foggy days in El Cerrito, today was beautiful.
Best of birds to you all!
