Birders, I ventured down to Johnston Pits this afternoon to enjoy the nice weather. I found an open pit that was loaded with waterfowl comprising 10 species including an adult Mute Swan and what I believe was a juvenile Mute Swan. Also observed was a dozen American Coots and most surprising, 4 Great Blue Herons. Last and certainly not least, I finally got my life Common Redpoll observing 5 individuals near the river at the end of the entry road.
