    Yesterday while construction monitoring at the Meade Street (Stege Marsh)
    remediation site (east of UC Berkeley's Richmond field campus, on the north
    side of the Bay Trail), I saw two OSPREY circling overhead at 3:16 p.m. for
    about 5 minutes before the winds carried them southwest (towards Brooks
    Island). I believe this is the first time I've seen this species next to the
    Bay, although one of my co-workers has seen them over the site, also.
    
    Did not see any clapper rails yesterday, although one has been seen on and
    off in this area over the past 2 months.
