I briefly scanned the lake from the dam last night and tonight on my way home from work. Last night I saw basically what Cory reported. Tonight there had been a much bigger influx of waterbirds. Numbers of a few species from last night/tonight:
Pied-billed Grebe 76/524 American Coot 25/270 Blue-winged Teal 50/265 Franklin's Gulls dropped from 300+ to less than 100 and the absence of Sabine's Gulls continues.
