That Google maps link will show you the main McNabney viewing site (parking, picnic table, restroom). Note that the Google map shows the slough as it was before restoration; there is a sizable lake now. The other main viewing site is the less well-known viewing platform on Service Road, on the way into the Mt View /Moorhen Marsh facility. It is accessed via the Pacheco Blvd exit on northbound 680, then turning right onto Arthur Road, which takes you to Service Road after a couple turns in a neighborhood. It can be quite good; a few years ago, there were seven Baird’s Sandpipers viewable from that platform. It’s not exactly wilderness but in a few months there will be tons of ducks and fellow travelers at McNabney.

I've not heard of that marsh, could I ask you where it is?sounds like it would be good for general marsh habitat birding as well?thank you very much!

I've seen them onesies or twosies before in the East Bay during migration, but this was a first. Here's the checklist with photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S264851306 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
