I've been out of town since birding Carlos Avery in the late afternoon/early evening on Wednesday but here is my report for those who where interested.
In the wooded area on the southern edge - pair of mallards (usually see Wood Ducks here as well but the water levels are a little low). Bald Eagle in the trees to the East exactly where the Bald Eagle Nest sign is. Pool 10 - mallards, Canadian Geese, Great Blue Heron, Possible Greater-white fronted Geese (2), Northern Shovelers, Wood Ducks, and more which you needed a scope to see and I didn't have one plus the lighting wasn't working in my favor Pool 9 - Another Bald Eagle, Canadian Geese, Mallards Pool 6 - Northern Shovelers, Ring-necked Duck, Mallards, Canadian Geese, Blue-winged Teal Red-wing Blackbirds, About half-dozen Blue Birds, Turkey Vulture Pool 4 - Canadian Geese, Mallards, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler Side note: Huge Dragonflies, beautiful blue and green - someone on here likes Dragonflies but I can't remember who. :) I have four unknowns that I'm working on identifying with the help of another birder. I'll post if it's anything unusual. Also, there were lots of "song" birds but I didn't have time to stop - my main focus was to see what was on the water.
