Spent a couple of hours at Walden and Sawhill Ponds this morning. Greater Yellowlegs were present of several ponds, with a single Lesser on Cottonwood as I left. A solitary White-faced Ibis was wading on the Sawhill pond nearest the Sawhill parking lot. A single Horned Grebe was on Cottonwood, and an Osprey was on the nest platform. 3 Tree Swallows were circling above.
