[EBB Sightings] Alameda Co. Big Day; 9-23-07

Hi all:  

Mary Wisnewski, Bill Walker, and I (MBBoverdrive) did
a Fall Challenge big day for SFBBO yesterday.

Bill Walker is working on the long report. Here's the
short one:

127 species seen by all 3, 1 species seen by 2 of us,
and 3 species seen by one of us.

Highlights included:  Snipe and RBSapsucker at
DelValle. Black-throated Gray Warbler at Tassajara
Creek RP.  Lark Sparrow at Coyote Hills. PECTORAL
SANDPIPER  at San leandro Marina.  COMMON TERN at
Cesar Chavez Park.  

Huge misses:  Most of the migrants seen by others at
Winton Ave.  
Snowy and Semi-palmated Plover, Red-shouldered Hawk,
Common Raven...... the list is long.  :)

A beautiful day though.  And for a great cause.  Check
out sfbbo.org if you get a chance and sponsor a team,
or mount your own big day in any county in the state.
There's still time.  

Good birding,
