[EBB Sightings] Eastshore State Park birds

Hi EBBers,

A few birds from various locations along the Eastshore State Park this 
morning during flood tide:

At the Seabreeze Restaurant (corner of University Ave and the frontage road 
on the west side of Highway 80 in Berkeley) there was an adult BRANT and one 
WHIMBREL.

At the derelict pier at the race track (Buchanan exit off Highway 80) there 
were six SURFBIRDS hanging out with the usual group of Black Turnstones.

There were two more WHIMBRELS on the shell mounds just south of Central Ave 
as it approaches Costco (this may be just outside the north end of Eastshore 
State Park).

I noticed 28 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES along that stretch of the bay.

Probably the most UNBELIEVABLE sighting was a CHIPMUNK (!) just south of the 
parking circle at the end of Spinnaker Way in Caesar Chavez Park on the 
Berkeley Marina.  As far as I know there are no chipmunks with a range that 
includes the East Bay west of the East Bay Hills.

Good birding,
Bob Battagin
