Fremont’s Pacific Commons Linear Park is a productive winter birding site. The ponds are excellent for many waterfowl species.  Waders such as American Bittern inhabit the pond edges and wetlands. The fields are productive for wintering sparrows and possibly Tri-Colored Blackbirds or even a stray Yellow-Headed Blackbird. We have a good chance at seeing interesting raptors.  Snow, Ross’s and Cackling Geese often visit this time of year.  To reach the park, exit I-880 in Fremont at Auto Mall Parkway. Go west on Auto Mall Parkway for a mile to a small pull-off area on the left at an entrance sign, and park along the road.  After birding Pacific Commons, we will carpool about 3 miles south along Cushing Parkway and Fremont Blvd. to Coyote Creek Lagoon trail for some wetlands and salt marsh birding.  This area is good for shorebirds and gulls. Bring a scope if you have one.  Heavy rain cancels.  No facilities at Pacific Commons, but we will make a stop en route to Coyote Creek.
