The two Surf Scoters reported by John Bissell were still off the dam this evening, best viewed from Lakeview. There were still a few shorebirds off Jester today including an American Avocet, Black-bellied Plovers, and Long-billed Dowitchers. Pelican numbers there have declined greatly in the past few days, with only a couple hundred left. Harris's Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, and Hermit Thrushes were common around Big Creek.
