Near by the the feeders in Breezy Hill, I saw at least 3 Field Sparrows, plus some Song & Chipping, and 1 Savannah.
The lake was not good, but 6 Black-crowned Night-Herons were a nice sight. Also flying over were Barn & Tree Swallows.
The pools, were not that active, but I saw 3 sps of egrets/Herons: Green, Great & Great Blue.
