[EBB Sightings] Hayward scouting

Today I scouted for the CBC next weekend with a couple of birding 
friends. Besides what you might expect:

At Lone Tree Cemetery, a Red-breasted Sapsucker ate juniper berries from 
the trees along Hansen. Multiple owl pellets were beneath the palm also 
on that side. A Cooper's Hawk and Western Bluebirds also appeared.

Don Castro gave us another Red-breasted Sapsucker in a tree at the far 
corner of the lawn to the left of the restrooms at the swim lagoon. A 
Green Heron, female Hooded Merganser, male Canvasback, female 
Bufflehead, male Gadwall, a Ruddy Duck and quite a few Ring-necked Ducks 
were at the marshy end of the lake. A few Hutton's Vireos gave their 
"laughing" call, and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet gave a short, soft burst of 
song near the Ridge Top area walking near the lake. Harold spotted a 
Golden-crowned Kinglet, then I saw one in a different direction from 
where he and Kay were looking.

At Five Canyons Shady Canyon Trail not too far down, six turkeys flew at 
tree level from the hill on the right, across the trail about 40-50' in 
front of us. They managed to disappear by the time we got down there, 
but we could still hear them giving little calls. On the way back under 
the overpass, we heard White-throated Swifts.
