[EBB Sightings] Coyote Hills RP

I was at Coyote Hills yesterday, January 9, and had an excellent  
birding morning (70 species overall).  I saw two COMMON MOORHENS - one  
in the pond at the beginning of the boardwalk, and a second further  
along the Muskrat Trail, on a pond to the east that is slightly  
protected.  Also saw two LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES along the Bayview Trail.   
Nothing else exceptional, but I was pleased by a flock of six WHITE- 
THROATED SWIFT overhead.
