Arrowhead Marsh for Clapper Rail April 2009
Karen was going into town to see a show with a friend. I dropped her off at the BART station and decided to take the little fellow for a walk at Arrowhead Marsh in Oakland. There was a post at some point mentioning that there were clapper rail there. Again, it didn't disappoint - I found several including one that appeared to be tagged with some kind of radio transmitter. Also got to photograph my first tern - I think it's a Caspian tern, but I'm not 100% sure. Bird list as follows:
- American Coot
- American Wigeon
- Barn Swallow
- Canada Goose
- Caspian Tern
- Chipping Sparrow
- Clapper Rail
- Greater Scaup
- Herring Gull
- Western Grebe
- White-Winged Scoter
- Willet
