    I found both RUDDY and BLACK TURNSTONES in Point Richmond, on Brickyard Cove
    Road, just after the Brickyard Cove development which is on the left.
    There's a road that turns right along the water and yacht harbor, and goes
    out to a dead end where you can view the tail of Brook's Island.  The
    turnstones were on the rocky shoreline at the intersection of the two roads.
    At the dead end, I parked at the no parking sign, probably invalidating my
    sighting, but scoped the channel towards Brooks Island and spotted a lone
    PIGEON GUILLEMOT.  Both new for the CCO list.
    
    I spotted Denise Wight at Shimada Friendship Park, where I also added a few
    species, ending the day at 113 for the county.  Only about 100 behind
    Denise!
