    Hi all:
    
    This morning, Ashok Khosla and I saw a juvenile Snow
    Goose and an Adult Ross's Goose w/ a Canada Goose
    flock performing as grounds crew for the Laney College
    baseball diamond.  The baseball field is betw. E 10th
    and E 8th on the south side of the Lake Merritt
    channel.  The Snow Goose is likely the same bird
    reported by Travis Hails on Thursday.
    
    Barrow's Goldeneye were out in force adjacent to the
    visitor center on the NE corner of the lake.  No
    Tufted Duck seen by us.
    
    A Snowy Egret was well up on the NE lawn with the
    mallards and was snatching houseflies off of leaves.
    Looked like a pretty clever trick to me.  Seeing is
    believing.
    
    Good birding,
