Hi all

 

Linda and I birded Spring Park reservoir, El Jebel this morning

 

Highlights on a warm 50-60F sunny morning included  hundreds of ducks and
scores of grebes (Eared and Westerns) 

plus

 

Common Loon 2 alternate plumage

Bonaparte's Gull 1

Franklin's Gull 2

California Gull 1

Ring-billed Gull 1

Lesser Yellowlegs 1

Greater Yellowlegs 2

Dowitcher spp 1

Killdeer several

Cackling Goose 3

White-faced Ibis 1

Prairie Falcon 1

Bald Eagle 1 adult

American Pipit 4

Savannah Sparrow several (FOS)

Tree Swallow less than 10,  no other swallows

 

Blue Lake El Jebel (again almost devoid of birds.. water pollution is
presumably the issue at this formerly great site. Spoke to a dog walker who
said she would no longer let her dog into the water after it developed bad
skin after going in the water)

Western Grebe 6

Canada Goose 2

 

Crawford's Pond, El Jebel (upstream of Blue Lake)

Is developing a thick green scum - no birds except a couple of Mallards and
some domestic geese on the bank

 

Home:

Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds

 

Good birding all
