[EBB Sightings] Berkeley Shoreline, April 3

This morning, our group saw three male Black Scoters from Vincent Park, Richmond, as reported by several people. One was in Richmond Marina Bay, and two were toward Brooks Island. There were dozens of Caspian Terns on Brooks Island and a few fly-overs. There was one Greater White-fronted Goose with the Canadas on the grassy knoll. We did not see a Long-tailed Duck.

>From Point Isabel looking northerly, we saw a Red-throated Loon and a Red-necked Grebe, both in non-breeding plumage.

>From Point Emery, a nice male Eurasian Wigeon was easily seen along the shore to the east.

Several shorebirds are coming into breeding plumage, e.g., Avocet, Dunlin, Surfbird, Dowitcher, Willet, so have a look before they take off.
