    Hi EBBers,
    
    At this morning's outgoing tide there were nine Surfbirds on the sand/pebble 
    bar at the mouth of Pinole Creek at Pinole Bayfront Park.  For birders not 
    familiar with this location, there are frequently many birds on this bar on 
    the outgoing and low tides.  This morning there were 13 shorebird species 
    including (the aforementioned) Surfbirds, Black Turnstones, Ruddy 
    Turnstones, Black Oystercathcers, and Red Knots. Gulls, Terns, Crows, Rock 
    Pigeons, Starlings, Egrets, Ducks, and a variety of other species commonly 
    visit the bar.
    
    Good birding,
    Bob Battagin
