Greetings All
Dennis Paulson, visiting dignitary from Washington (State that is) and I birded more reservoirs than we could count. Lesser Canada Geese are everywhere and everywhere in numbers, whilst Cacklers remain surprisingly scarce. Soon, if usual holds, all will be gone. In any case, at Fossil Creek there was an Eared Grebe, >20 Horned Grebes, and >20 Greater Scaup At Timnath Reservoir, there was a pair of BARROWS GOLDENEYE, 5000 Lesser Canada Geese + 4 Snow x Canada Geese and 1 Ross's x Canada Goose. At Black Hollow Res, there was a GLAUCOUS-WINGED x HERRING GULL (2nd cycle), 2 LBB GULLS (adults), and 1 Thayer's Gull (adult). At Drake Lake, there was a TAVERNER'S CACKLING GOOSE At Wood Lake, there was a Snow x Canada Goose and about 5000 more Lesser Canada Geese + 7 Ross's Geese (and a similar number of Snows) At Windsor Lake, there were just tons of birds (eg, nearly 700 Common Mergs) but nothing truly "rare" At Neff Lake, there was a late-ish Northern Shrike At Firestone Ponds, 800+ Redhead, 10 or so Greater Scaup, and -- yes-- 2 RED-NECKED GREBES At Union Reservoir, 17 or so Am White Pelicans, a Taiga Merlin, 2 Harlan's Hawks, but little else Ish Reservoir and McIntosh (as noted by Sire Kaempfer) were like tombs.
