Some birders mentioned --as I did not get out early today--that the day was very slow. Perhaps an anticipation of the coming storm just scared them birds away !
I did see a GREEN HERON perched on a water snag at Duck Island's back channel. Rob Bate saw on the same island an immature BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON . At Three Sisters Islands, a pair of WOOD DUCKS.
Perhaps most exciting to see could be at least 24 LAUGHING GULLS
I observed in the mid afternoon in a localized flurry at the Lake center. Fun to see....for a slow slow day
However Tom Preston looks like having a productive day.See his report below.
