With wonderful weather we birded at 8 locations including Crab Cove, Alameda Point, and Lincoln Park.  We saw 4 birds on nests- Red-breasted Nuthatch, Cooper’s Hawk, Anna’s Hummingbird, and Peregrine Falcon on Fruitvale Bridge. Highlights included, Black Oystercatchers, Red-throated Loon, Common Loon in alternate plumage, and Hooded Oriole.  Lots of fun and lots of $ raised for GGA Birdathon!
