[EBB Sightings] Albany bulb rocky shorebirds

At the very end of Albany Bulb is a rocky breakwater that encloses a kind of 
lagoon.  This has become an excellent place to see rocky shorebirds in 
impressive numbers and at close range.  This morning I saw at least fourteen 
Black oystercatchers and forty or more Black turnstones.   When the birds 
are not on this breakwater they often can be found instead on the rocks and 
riprap west of the Golden Gate Fields parking lot, south of Albany Beach.
