    At 12:30 today I made a quick stop at the Fresh Water
    Retention Pond on Laguna Creek Lane in Pleasanton.
    (This is the pond that's visible from 680, just south
    of Bernal Avenue.)
    
    Among the >400 CANADA GEESE in the surrounding field
    were 5 CACKLING GEESE (Aleutian) and a single SNOW
    GOOSE. 
    
    Other species on the pond in small numbers:
    BUFFLEHEAD, LESSER SCAUP, GADWALL, RUDDY DUCK,
    MALLARD, AMERICAN COOT, RING-BILLED GULL.
