[EBB Sightings] Cliff Swallow near Seven Hills School--Walnut Creek

I made about a 1-hour bike ride around Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek 
this AM.  I saw the continuing White-throated Sparrow, but did not see the 
female Greater Scaup which has been here quite a while.  In addition, I 
found a second Bushtit nest under construction in the pine trees on the west 
side of the equestrian area parking lot.

I rode west along the Contra Costa Canal as far as the little orchard near 
Cherry Lane.  I found no birds there, but did see a Clliff Swallow flying 
high over the creek as I returned.  This is about 1/4 mile west of the north 
entrance of Heather Farm Park and below the hilltop buildings of the Seven 
Hills School.  The swallows nest under the pedestrian bridge every year.
