[EBB Sightings] Lake Merritt

This morning, I went to Lake Merritt (birding there for the first time!) 
for SFBBO's field trip led by Lisa Myers. The Tufted Duck was near the 
nature center, among many Greater and Lesser Scaup and Ringneck Duck, 
making it seem like /Where's Waldo? /

We also had a distant look at Barrow's Goldeneye, which were on the 
south side. I drove around to that side after the official trip had 
ended, and got a better look.

A Cooper's Hawk was perched on the railing around the aviary, eyeing the 
mouth-watering pigeons inside. After a while, it flew up topside, still 
trying to figure out how to get in.

Along with the following "official" list, I also heard a Hutton's Vireo 
"laugh" call.
