[EBB Sightings] Alameda Co. - Wandering Tattler & Black Tern

This morning at 10:30, 1 WANDERING TATTLER was resting on the north arm 
of the breakwater at the Albany Bulb at the west end of Buchanan St. in 
Albany.  On the walk out, there were scads (a very scientific term) of 
YELLOW WARBLERS feeding in the fennel.
At about noon, 1 BLACK TERN was swooping and diving at the south end of 
the large pond just south of the Winton Ave. entrance to Hayward 
Shoreline.
I was hoping for a threesome, but could not find the BUFF-BREASTED 
SANDPIPER. Did meet someone who said it had been seen very early this 
morning. He also reported seeing a CHIPPING SPARROW on the path south 
of the Water Treatment Plant at Hayward Shoreline and a CLAY-COLORED 
SPARROW on the way in from the Grant Ave. entrance to Hayward 
Shoreline. I did not see the Chipping Sparrow, it was by now about 2 
and quite hot so bird activity was low, but I may have caught a glimpse 
of the Clay-Colored Sparrow just north of the Grant Ave. parking lot in 
the weedy field. The look was too fleeting to be sure.
