[EBB Sightings] Shorebirds at the "Meadow" - Berkeley Marina

Hi EBBers,

An interesting consequence of the restoration currently underway at the NE 
corner of the "Meadow" at the Berkeley Marina is open dirt with vernal 
pools.  This has attracted nearby shorebirds and yesterday around noon I 
noticed six species (Semipalmated Sandpiper - 102, Killdeer - 8, Greater 
Yellowlegs - 1, Dunlin - 1, Western Sandpiper - 1,  and Least Sandpiper - 
50).

There were 7 Surfbirds roosting with other shorebirds near the large outflow 
pipe in the rip rap just south of Emery Point.

Good birding,
Bob Battagin
