[EBB Sightings] Heather Farm Birds

Today I visited Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek twice, once about 8 AM, 
the other at midday.  The Great Blue Heron and the Black-crowned Night-Heron 
from this AM were still there at noon.  So were two Snowy Egrets and a Great 
Egret.  Try as I might I could not find a Green Heron to complete a sweep.

As I was searching though, a Spotted Sandpiper flew south along the natural 
pond and landed on the island across from the wooden railing.

In the extreme south end of the natural pond, I found a Pied-billed Grebe 
nest yesterday.  Unfortunately, the Night-Heron is sitting about 15 feet to 
the right of it, waiting.  Standing at the south railing and looking to 
one's left, the nest is just to the left of a submerged white box of some 
kind.  The box appears to be a piece of trash lost by some weekend park 
users.
