[EBB Sightings] Hayward Regional Shoreline-Winton Avenue Thursday

The Mt. Diablo Audubon field trip to the Winton Avenue side of Hayward Regional Shoreline Thursday was quite successful, with a total of 65 species spotted by 14 birders.  Two of the total were added after lunch at the San Leandro Marina Park.  Highlights included 6 raptor and 16 shorebird species.  Among them were both Merlin and Peregrine Falcon, Red Knots hiding between the many Black-bellied Plovers, Red-necked Phalaropes, both Turnstones, Surfbirds, huge numbers of Marbled Godwits and absolutely killer looks at a very close Wandering Tattler.  Among the others were a Downy Woodpecker along Mt. Trashmore, a Say's Phoebe, several House Wrens, a Lincoln's Sparrow and numerous Yellow Warblers.
