[EBB Sightings] Heather Farm: Cackling Goose, sapsucker and lark sparrows

Today at Heather Farms in Walnut Creek between 10:30 AM and 11:15 AM I
spotted 4 LARK SPARROWS on the south end of the corral, a RED-BREASTED
SAPSUCKER in the trees by the solar panels (northwest side of the park),
and a single CACKLING GOOSE (Aluetian ssp)in the northern ball fields. 
Teams were playing in both fields, scaring off the Killdeers but not the
Canada Geese.  The RING-NECKED DUCK and a single GREATER SCAUP continue in
the main lake.  Spotted 33 species but missed Hugh Harvey's White-throated
Sparrow again.  AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES were particularly abundant, about 40
to 50 were seen (had to hurry home before I could count them all)
