[EBB Sightings] Hybrid Barrow's Goldeneye x Hooded Merganser; Barrows Goldeneyes; etc. in Oakland

Today (12/23) at Peralta Park in Oakland I saw at least 13 male Barrow's 
Goldeneyes, at least 5 female Barrow's Goldeneyes, the hybrid male Barrow's 
Goldeneye x Hooded Merganser, at least 21 male Common Goldeneyes & lots of 
female Common Goldeneyes. (I didn't count them.)   There was also a female 
Hooded Merganser and other less "noteworthy" birds there.

Peralta Park is on 10th St., next to the Kaiser Convention Center.   There 
is a parking lot behind the Center.   My car was the only one in the lot.

Earlier, on the Golden Gate Aud. trip, we all saw the female Redhead, the 
male Ring-necked Duck and an immature Red-shouldered Hawk.
