This morning on my sky watch over my house in central Albany, there were
nice movements of mostly smaller flocks of waterfowl, with around 15
different flocks ranging from 12-90 birds each. This was likely connected
to the ENE winds, which were strongest around 7am this morning.
160 Greater White-fronted Geese (identified visually), 26 Cackling, 11 Snow
Geese (with one smaller individual that might have been Ross’s), 40 goose
sp, 2 duck sp, 2 American White Pelicans. This seems to have been a decent
year in the east bay for Greater White-fronted Geese in particular. Also
nice robin movements, plus waxwings and a good number (7) of American
Goldfinches. The gulls were also soaring early with the breeze, with 2
Glaucous-wingeds breaking up the usual California Gull juggernaut over
inland neighborhoods.
