[EBB Sightings] Clapper Rail, Semi-palmated Plovers in Richmond

Richmond to Berkeley on the SF Bay Trail, Bicycle Trip
Saturday, August 15, 2009
A Clapper Rail was the star of the morning for our group of
11. It was seen on the east side of the SF Bay Trail just north of S. 51st
Street (Meeker Slough area.) Returnees/birds in migration included Western
Sandpipers, Black-bellied Plovers, Semipalmated Plovers and Whimbrels. Another
hot spot was between Central and Buchanan where large numbers of birds were on
the mudflats.  36 species seen. Kathy Jarrett
