Today, after seeing 11 evening grosbeaks at Fawn Brook (and 0 Rosy Finches), we traveled to Wild Basin, where, at about 10:30 AM, a Northern Pygmy Owl popped up into the dead tree to the right of the bathrooms in the parking area. He moved over into a tree just beside the Sandbeach Lake Trailhead (between the parking lot and the little kiosk on the trail. He was intently staring at the area near a woodpile just off of the trail, and was not perturbed by hikers walking just below him. The lone Tundra Swan was peddling fiercely in the SE corner of Valmont Reservoir, where 3 canvasbacks and a mallard also tried to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
