    Here are some photos of the Harris's Sparrow taken at Pt. Isabel this 
    morning:

    Thanks to Sheila Dickie for finding and reporting the bird.  The 
    mysterious woman referred to in Stephanie Floyd's post was my wife, 
    Carol Chetkovich.
    
    Speaking of Pt. Isabel, I was there last Saturday 11/15 doing the 
    Audubon California/SFBBO/PRBO shorebird census, and didn't see the 
    Harris's Sparrow, but did see a flock of 12 Tundra Swans flying south 
    over the bay in both Contra Costa and Alameda county airspace.  Later in 
    the day we saw what were presumably the same 12 flying back north into 
    Marin County.  I understand they were seen by several other parties of 
    shorebird counters.  First I've seen on the Bay.  Sorry for the late 
    post, but the birds weren't very chaseable.
