A dozen or so birders where in various parts of the gardens when I arrived and no sightings of the dove were reported had been reported. I didn't spend much time looking for the bird myself, but during a 45 minute stationary count from the newly repaired section of West Pond trail a Gull-billed Tern and Tricolored Heron were of note. A male scaup was on the north shoreline of the West Pond. Heat shimmer and distance wouldn't allow a firm ID.
