[EBB Sightings] Heather Farm in Walnut Creek

I didn't start through the park this morning until a little after 9:30, but 
the Yellow-rumped Warblers were busy everywhere.  I finally found one Yellow 
Warbler.

Two Cooper's Hawks sped from west to east over the large pond.  A continuing 
Red-shouldered Hawk was on the east side of the same pond.  And for the 
first time since Sept. 12, I saw a Moorhen.  It appeared to be an adult in 
the basic plumage, but I wonder if it might not be the young one which was 
seen so much during August and early this month.

According to Sibley, the juveniles should look like juveniles until sometime 
in February.  Adults should be in basic plumage from Sept to Feb.  The last 
time I saw the young one it was looking more and more like an adult.
