[EBB Sightings] Lesser Yellowlegs @ Don Edwards

Jim Ross and I covered the southern section of Don Edwards which is section
7, the city of Newark, for the Hayward - Fremont CBC, yesterday.
On the pond west of Thornton Rd. north of Hickory St. we found four Lesser
Yellowlegs and one Greater Yellowlegs.
I'm thinking Joe Devine was in section 8.
Not sure who covers this section 8.
Also we did search for the reported Swainson Hawk in the very southern tip
of the section.
The hawk was not located.
There were four Glaucous Gulls over the parking lot on Thornton and Hickory.
Also found two Red-breasted Nuthatch's in the pine's of Cedar Pk. in Newark.

Birding is fun and educational + it gets us out and away from the TV remote!

> I did a little birding at La Riviere marsh this morning. (Had to leave
after about 40 min. when business calls came in.) There were 4 Lesser
Yellowlegs in the marsh below the Visitor's Center & towards the boardwalk.
I had very good looks at all 4 having taken cover behind the bushes along
the path  within 20 - 25 yds. away. A few times I also had side-by-side
views of both Greater & Lesser. I then started out to the large puddle area
east of the end of the levee pathway towards Hwy. 84. The other Lessers had
been very vocal & I believe I heard 2 more, possibly, in that puddle.
Unfortunately, that's when the calls came in & had to get back to work. :(
Don't know if the northern section of Don Edwards is in a CBC circle, but I
wanted to post the sightings for other birders to investigate.
