I took a quick hike down to the pier and back at Pt Pinole Regional 
Shoreline today.  Among the birds on the pilings of the old pier (alongside 
the Fishing Pier) were about 20 ELEGANT TERNS.  I believe this is the 
furthest from the ocean that I've seen this species.

Other birds of interest included:
Spotted Sandpiper (1)
Orange-Crowned Warblers (2)
Wilson's Warbler (1)
Townsend's Warblers (2)
Say's Phoebes (2)
Lincoln's sparrows (2)

I pretty sure I had a House Wren, but the LBJ got away from me before I got 
a positive Id.  White-crowned and Golden-crowned Sparrows were 
well-represented in large numbers.

Good birding,
