[EBB Sightings] Hooded Merganser in Downtown Walnut Creek

This morning I rode my bike downtown.  I searched a number of creek areas 
including by Civic Park, the library, south of Macy's and near Trader Joe's. 
The only creek with a duck was next to Trader Joe's on California Boulevard. 
The creek east  of the street had 7 Mallards, but the creek west of the 
street had a male Hooded Merganserand another Mallard.

While collecting the Audubon mail at the Locust Street Post Office, about a 
dozen Cedar Waxwings left the trees there and flew more or less to the west. 
There were also some Waxwings in a tree over the creek on the north side of 
Lincoln, adjacent to the library construction site.
