On Tuesday at the Albany waterfront, we found two Red-necked Phalaropes 
twirling beyond the mudflats, an adult Glaucous-winged Gull, and an adult Common 
Murre that was drifting weakly with the incoming tide until several gulls 
attacked it.   It woke up quickly, defended itself with that dagger of a beak, and 
began swimming slowly back out into the open bay.
On Thursday in the Berkeley Marina area, we saw the continuing Pelagic 
Cormorant, an adult Glaucous-wing again, and a very early W Meadowlark in the picnic 
fields of Cesar Chavez Park.   We rarely see adult Gl-w Gulls at this time of 
year, and have never in nine years seen meadowlarks during the summer along 
the waterfront.
