[EBB Sightings] Sightings in Heather Farm, Walnut Creek

A Black-headed Grosbeak was seen and then heard this morning in the trees 
between the paddocks at the Heather Farm Equestrian Center.  Another or the 
same bird was also seen near the Garden Center by Marilyn Trabert and her 
friends.  I met all of them at the wooden railing at the large pond.

While we talked, they showed me a Common Moorhen across the water on the 
island.  It has been maybe a year since I have found one there.  This was a 
very good find.  We also watched a Green Heron on the same island edge.

As I returned home, I heard a Wilson's Warbler across the Contra Costa 
Canal, pretty much opposite the Sheppard Road trial access.  This warbler 
would be in the trees behind the maintenance area and the Gardens of Heather 
Farm propagation area.
