[EBB Sightings] White Pelicans and Blackbird Behavior.

Not sure if they're common or not, but several American White Pelicans  
were in the marsh along 680 near the Benicia toll plaza (McNabney  
Marsh?) yesterday evening.

I also saw some very sad and surprising Red-winged Blackbird  
behavior.  Apparently a car struck and killed a female blackbird.  A  
male, I assume its mate, fluttered over it flashing its red wing  
patches and calling to it in a frenzied panic.  It was heart-wrenching  
to see.  I knew geese and ducks grew such bonds, but didn't realized  
other birds did as well.
