[EBB Sightings] Cesar Chavez Park and Don Edwards NWR highlights

Hi all,

This morning I walked the perimeter trail on the east
side of Cesar Chavez Park. The number of birds and
total species weren't high, but I was lucky to see a
HORNED GREBE (from the NE point), 3 CLARK'S GREBES,
and a PELAGIC CORMORANT. 

On the way home I made a quick stop at the fishing
pier at Don Edwards NWR in Fremont. Among the mainstay
Willets and Marbled Godwits, was a RUDDY TURNSTONE, 2
SANDERLINGS, 2 WHIMBRELS, and at least 475 RED-NECKED
PHALAROPES.  

The complete eBird reports are attached below.
