[EBB Sightings] MDAS field trip to Mt. View Sanitary/McNabney Marsh

We had a great time visiting Mt. View Sanitary and the adjacent McNabney 
Marsh.  We ate lunch at Martinez Regional shoreline and added a few more 
birds to our total of more than 60 species.  A highlight for many was the 
immature Golden Eagle flying high over the Shell refinery and adjacent 
marshes, but probably a better sighting was the Prairie Falcon which flew 
north, crossed the freeway and eventually was chased by a gull, both of them 
very high and far away by then.

Seven Cackling Geese were on the lawn at the shoreline picnic area at the 
foot of N. Court Street (it is Ferry Street when it crosses the railroad 
tracks at the old depot).
