[EBB Sightings] Martinez Regional Shoreline

EBBers,

Took a walk around the Martinez Regional Shoreline this morning and saw no
sign of any birds (or other critters) showing signs of distress from the oil
spill. Nor was there any visible evidence that the oil had traveled this far
east in the water. Walked out to the far end of the park along the railroad
tracks and the large group of Scaup (Lesser Scaup I think), a few Ruddy
Ducks and Western Grebes were just off the beach. I didn't see any birds on
shore or any excessive preening in the flock so all looked well (for now at
least).

 

There was a lot of activity in the inner lake/lagoon with the Avocet's and
Black Necked Stilts and many peeps (I'm bad at those). The ducks, mallards &
coots mostly and Canadian geese were out and about as well, again no signs
of oiled or distressed birds.
