[EBB Sightings] FW: Chilean Flamingo @ Coyote Hills

Hi. I have some info about the Coyote Hills flamingo that may be of
interest...
Since 2005, the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory has conducted monthly
salt pond surveys at Coyote Hills. We have observed this flamingo at a
contiguous group of salt ponds immediately south of the Alameda flood
channel virtually every month since October 2005 (per Michael Mammoser).

In October of 2005, the Chilean Flamingo was seen on pond N3A every month
until January of 2006.
In January of 2006 the flamingo was seen on pond N4AA until March of 2007.
In March of 2007 the flamingo moved to pond N2A and was seen there until
September of 2007 when it moved to N1A.
We continue to see this flamingo monthly on pond N1A.

What a spectacular bird!

Good birding :)
