Monday early morning 8:30 am at the Junction it was 36 degrees with greatviews of the back side of Mt. Hamilton with snow.We found one Lewis's Woodpecker near road maker 0020 looking east, severalhundred feet back from the fence line.The Lewis's did a brief Flycatcher exhibit but other wise it was perchedgetting sun.Acorn Woodpeckers, Oak Titmouse, Red-Tailed Hawks made appearances also.The area over all had many small groups of Yellow-billed Magpies.The surprise of the day was Lesser Yellowlegs in one of the stock ponds, Ifailed to note the road marker.The same pond had Bufflehead ducks.Driving up Mines Rd. near a horse coral - Alameda County along the ArroyoMocho there was four Wood Ducks.
