Steve & I walked down the Richmond shoreline trail this morning (Mon, Jan
1) to see what the high tide pushed up, concentrating on Meeker
Slough. There was a lot of activity, especially Common Yellowthroats,
Marsh Wrens, and a variety of sparrows. We ran into Nel & Nick, who
previously reported, but we saw some different birds, so I thought it was
worth reporting anyway.
Best birds were:
CACKLING GEESE (5) - with Canadas just south of Slough near Field Station road
SORA
CLAPPER RAILS (4)
WILSON'S SNIPE (several)
PEREGRINE FALCON (juvenile)
BURROWING OWLS (2) - south of Slough & Field Station road, near the black
plastic "fence"
Runners-up included:
Spotted Sandpiper
American Pipit
Lincoln's Sparrows (2)
Also, the Fox Sparrows along the trail alongside the slough included a RED
(TAIGA) FORM FOX SPARROW.
Good birding,
