    Hi. E.B. Birders,
    
    Today at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, there were
    two Grasshopper Sparrows in the weedy field to the
    west the first picnic area, between the Bay View Trail
    and the shoreline vegetation.  They were perched near
    each other on the bare branches of an old shrub about
    50 feet from the trail, moved to another old shrub,
    then one flew off into the grass, and the other flew
    off to a blackberry bush between the weedy field and
    the pickleweed. 
    
    There was also a Slate-colored Junco under the second
    group of eucalyptus, a bit farther north along the 
    Bay View Trail.
    
    Earlier at San Pablo Shoreline at the end of Tennent
    Road in Pinole, we saw a Surfbird along the rocks with
    the Black Turnstones on the far west side of mudflat.
    
    All the Best Birding,
    Denise Wight
