[EBB Sightings] Brandt's Cormorants at Berkeley Pier

Hi East Bay Birders:

This afternoon I saw two Brandt's Cormorants at the Berkeley Pier.  I
was able to observe them for about 45 minutes as they swam most of the
length of the pier.  They dove constantly and stayed along the north
side. I got a few photos.

Later I went to Cesar Chavez Park and saw the Burrowing Owl reported
earlier today by Bob Battagin but didn't see Wilson's Snipe.  There
was a Loggerhead Shrike in the large grassy area, possibly the same
bird reported last week from the Berkeley Meadow.

Good birding.
