    Spent the morning (7AM-9AM) at Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont. The ROCK WREN reported by Bob was on top of the hill, south of the visitor center. It made a quick appearance above a rocky area that appeared to have burned shrubs below it, maybe 100 yards south of the giant rock. Other highlights included 2 American White Pelicans and the likely Snow Goose (once again, saw it in flight with Canda Geese, but couldn't judge size/bill from the distance). Near the entry kiosk, a male Ring-necked Pheasant made a short flight out in the fields. There were 2 male California Quail in the small tree with red berries along the access road just after the Quarry parking lot.
    
    Along the access road to the Dumabrton Bridge/fishing pier, a Peregrine Falcon was perched on one of the KGO radio towers. Small peeps feeding near the road included Western, Least Sandpiper, Dunlin and at least two Sanderlings
