[EBB Sightings] RE: Continuing TROPICAL KINGBIRD; & ALA Co. CA HF CBC announcement: 16 Dec. 2007

Greetings EBB'ers,
 
As Peter Dramer reported today (11?30/07  9:31.13) the  Tropical Kingbird is 
most often viewed when it choses to perch/hunt from  telephone wires or cables 
situated east (150 - 250 yards) of the end of West  Winton Ave., Hayward. and 
ends at the entrance to the Hayward Shoreline  Regional Park Parking Lot 
access Rd. (Note: Winton Ave. exits Hwy 880 (Nimits  Fwy).  
 
This morning (Fri.) at 9:00 AM it was easily seen about 175 ft. away,  seen 
on wires perpendicular to W. Winton Ave. and paralleling the old  sewage 
drainage ditch to the bay from a parking spot in front of the  cyclone fence along 
the east side of Winton Ave. This is the south boundary of  the EBRPD Office 
and construction yard for the Hayward Regional  Shoreline Park. At 9:15 PM after 
disappearing 10 minutes it  reappeared again on a cable line running due 
south about 250 ft. from  the above location. By 9:30 PM (after again 
disappearing) it had once again  returned to the place 1st seen. It's forays to apparently 
capture flying prey  often took it out of view for a while.
 
Interestingly, several years ago, another TrKi showed up in this same  area.  
We are hoping it'll be present for the annual OAS Hayward-Fremont  Christmas 
Bird Count, Sunday, 16 Dec. 2007.  Readers interested in joining  this CBC 
should contact Phil and Pat Gordon, Compilers via E-mail: _PAGPEG at aol.com_ 
(mailto:PAGPEG at aol.com)  ASAP.
 
Happy Birding,
 
Phil Gordon
ALA Co.
