*****************

This was another slow week, with Thursday as the exception to the rule. 
  At the Berkeley Marina that day we watched 14 American White Pelicans 
fly over against a rare blue sky, a Wandering Tattler was on the bricks 
at Brickyard Beach, and 4 Elegant Terns fished off of the turnaround at 
Cesar Chavez Park as a single juvenile Pigeon Guillemot swam in the same 
area.

The only other birds of note were the continuing Sharp-shinned Hawk 
family that nested successfully near Wildcat Creek between Vollmer and 
Grizzly Peaks, and an Ash-throated Flycatcher near the top of Vollmer. 
We heard several Dendroica type "chip" notes, but we never sighted the 
source birds in the fog that ruled Tilden each day.

Brian Fitch and Crew
