[EBB Sightings] San Ramon Valley sightings

The small pond behind Windemere Ranch Middle School in San Ramon is full of life right now.  It gives one an idea of what Dougherty Valley might have looked like before all the development.  In the pond this afternoon:

4 Buffleheads 
4 Green-winged Teals
6 Cinnamon Teals
2 Great Egrets
1 Yellowlegs (hard to tell whether Greater or Lesser)
Mallards and American Coots

Directions:  Exit 680 at Bollinger Canyon Rd. in San Ramon and travel east 4.8 miles.  Left on E. Branch Parkway.  Right into the 1st driveway, shared by Windemere Ranch Middle School and a small park with a parking lot on the right.  Park there and walk south along the park's perimeter, through the black gate and down along the wetlands.  

Also:  Yesterday there was a brilliant male Hooded Merganser among the Mallards in the creek below the Danville Library.  400 Front Street, Danville.  

Good birding.
