Sometimes it works like it's supposed to.

Finally got a bit of time free and headed for Hayward Shoreline.  Looked for
Bob Power's sandpiper.  Mirrored Dave Weber's experience -- no bird, walked
out to shoreline, wandered about a bit, came back, and there it was, maybe
50 yards out (north) from the second bright orange pipe cap located along
the trail from the interpretive center.  Absolutely all alone - not another
bird for 100 yards.

Decided this was good, I should try for two, so took Alvarado / Niles road
to the very end, walked down the trail to the creek, looked at the
inflatable dam, watched the Spotted Sandpipers, looked down the creek maybe
50', and there was the Little Blue Heron standing on a gravel bar.

Thanks to all for such good instructions.  Added two to my
bringing-up-the-rear total for Alameda County
