Field Trip Report

December 13, 1997
Ten birders braved the extremely cold and windy weather at Petaluma Waste Water Treatment Ponds and Schollenberger Park. Several species of ducks were seen at the oxidation ponds, including both male and female Blue-winged Teal. Many Bonaparte's Gulls were also sighted. Several Black-necked Stilts and Avocets were seen at Schollenberger Park. Total species seen were 47. At noon, we chipped the icicles off our noses and went home.

Five people joined Ian Morrison to bird Bodega Bay and Doran Park. Despite the rainy conditions, 80 species were found including Snowy Plover, Peregrine Falcon, Red Knot, several immature and adult Heerman's Gulls and a Red-necked Grebe. At the Head we watched in fascination as five seals porpoised in unison through the heavy surf.
