Tweets - It was dark and wet today, with mizzle, drizzle, and rain. And except for Short-billed Gulls (~250), American Robins, and Dark-eyed Juncos, it wasn't very birdy at all. My fingers are still cold from the combination of temps in the low 40's and wet, wet, wet.
Highlights: Greater White-fronted Goose - Eight out near the Model Airplane Field Common Goldeneye - Quick flyby, with three heading up the slough. First of Winter (FOW) Common Merganser - 5-6 drakes seen from the Lake Platform. We've had very few this fall California Gull - Amongst the hordes of Short-billed, we found 2-3 California, just our 17th December record for this species White-throated Sparrow - Two with a flock of juncos in the Dog Area Western Meadowlark - Remain active on the grass/gravel parking area in the NE part of the park
We also had a COYOTE trot across the grass fields while we were still in the parking lot, and an AMERICAN BEAVER swimming in the slough.
Misses today were numerous: American Wigeon, Green-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, Hooded Merganser, Anna's Hummingbird, Killdeer, Wilson's Snipe, Cooper's Hawk, Northern Shrike, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Marsh Wren, Pine Siskin, and American Goldfinch.
