[EBB Sightings] MDAS trip to Sunol Reg. Park

Hi birders:

The next day, yesterday, Barbara and I went to Sunol as well.  There
was not much in the way of blue skies and we didn't quite make 39
species but can add one highlight: in addition to the many Wild
Turkeys at Geary/Calavaras there was a pair of Hooded Mergansers in
one of the fenced-in ponds on Calavaras Rd. right before the Geary
intersection.

The Ferruginous Hawk continues at Fremont Central Park.

Good birding
