Happy New Year all,
Sat.PM to the South of  Powell St along the rip-rap roosting area was a small 
flock of American Wigeons,  very close to shore.  Among them was one male 
Eurasain Wigeon.  Also  large rafts of Scaup and Ruddies.  Roosting were the 
usual Willets,  Godwits, some Whimbrels and one Dunlin and a Spotted Sandpiper.
Today, Sun.  PM at low tide at Point Emery on the South side and at the point 
were 2 pairs of  Black Oystercatchers and a small flock of Black Turnstones.  
Also, more  Wigeons , but no Eurasians.

At Ceasar Chavez the Burrowing Owl is very  cooperative in the newly fenced 
off area, near the bend in the path. Aloong with  the Ruddies, Buffleheads and 
Scaups were some female Common Goldeneyes

In  the Meadow area was a a Red Tail Hawk perched in a tree and two White 
Tailed  Kites, perched in a low tree to the north of the trail, being harrassed 
by a  Raven.  Also seen were lots of White Crowned Sparrows, a Song Sparrow and 
 an Orange Crowned Warbler. A Brown Pelican flew  over.
