The usual suspects were present on the water and shoreline, but the rain seemed to hide any passerines. I saw my first of the autumn Bonaparte's Gull (an adult) just south of the mountain loop, and a handful of Black Terns, along with a dozen shorebirds of the peep persuasion. Hundreds of Barn Swallows were feeding over lake and land, but I could see no other swallow species. About 500 Yellow-headed Blackbirds in a tight flock hung out at the ponds of Cottonwood Creek, SW corner of the road around the lake. Maybe another look if and when the rain stops would turn up more birds.
