[EBB Sightings] Greater White-fronted Geese in Berkeley

Hi EB Birders:

Out walking the dog this morning on Park Hills Rd. in the Berkeley
Hills I saw 18 Greater White-fronted Geese flying overhead in
formation heading for Contra Costa County.  Almost, but not quite, a
yard bird.

Yesterday morning after the Phylloscopus Warbler no-show at Pt.
Isabel, I went over to the Albany mudflats and finally saw my first
juvenile-plumage Long Bill Dowitchers of the season.  There were six
of them and the Eurasian Wigeon reported earlier by Bob Power.
Amongst the many Yellow-rumped Warblers along the ridge trail at the
Albany Bulb there were a few Yellow, Townsend's, Orange-crowned and a
single Nashville Warbler.  Another Nashville Warbler was at Cesar
Chavez Park along the bay side path that goes south to the OCSC
sailing club.

Good birding.
