[EBB Sightings] Yesterday at San Leandro Reservoir

Hi 

Yesterday I went birding at the Upper San Leandro Reservoir.  I
started at the Valle Vista staging area off Canyon Rd which heads
south out of Moraga.  The highlight of the walk was the male-female
pair of Hooded Mergansers, which were in the creek that flows south
into the very low reservoir.  I was disappointed to not find the
Loggerhead Shrike that usually winters above the horse stables.

Good birding,
Jim
