And at Crab Cove now, between us be stairway and the rocks offshore.
When does Oakland CBC count week start? Tomorrow?
I hope this loon stays until Sunday, but you Alamedans should for sure get it for count week!

The Yellow-billed Loon was seen today from Ballena Island on the Bay side across from Pier 29 restaurant. Also near the Encinal Boat Ramp.

Hello,
East Bay Parks has a notice about Crab Cove parking:https://www.ebparks.org/parks/visitor-centers/crab-cove
"McKay Parking Lot at Crown Memorial Beach's Crab Cove is currently closed for street maintenance project. Temporary no street parking on McK[ay] Ave. until 4 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025"
For those of you who know the YELO location, where would you recommend parking when McKay and its associated lot are closed?
Many thanks!Melanie Barnett, Sunnyvale

It is still there. I saw it in the same general area - along the left side of the Rocky Point in Crab Cove, along the metal railed walkway and rocks on the left side. I heard that it has also been spotted on the other side of the Rocky Point, in the Ballena Bay Lagoon.
