On a rare, calm morning at Totten Reservoir today, there was a Sanderling along the east shore. It was briefly "traveling with" a Spotted Sandpiper. Other shorebirds included Lesser Yellowlegs, Western Sandpipers and more Killdeer than we've seen all summer. Mixed in with the shorebirds was a flock of American Pipits. Coot and Pied-billed Grebe numbers have skyrocketed. There are a few Ruddy Ducks and Ring-necked Ducks back as well.
Flocks of Yellow-rumped Warblers harassed swarms of gnats. About 20 Pinyon Jays noisily flew past, landing briefly in a juniper up the hillside.
