As unhappy as the HOA person may be, accessing that particular area and

Just a heads up, keep your eyes peeled for a juvenile Blackburnian Warbler.
I saw it there this past Sunday. It was working the Russian olives along
the east side of the lake north of the spillway.

PF goose last seen around 9:30 around north west side of lake. Most have flown

Long Tailed Duck is present and cooperative on the south west shoreline.

Teals would be another one. Plovers too, easier if you count Killdeer.
Accipiter trifecta would be a hard one. Sage/brown/curve-billed thrasher should
be doable at Chico Basin Ranch, I think grey-cheeked/swainsons/hermit/wood

Bryan,
The overnight Birdcast seems to agree with your prediction, though it looks
like the bulk of the movement was full on northward. I bet there were some
wayward flocks on the fringe that made it into the southeast corner as well.
Cool to see the correlation between datasets! Thanks for you
a different way than the birdcasts can.

Just a reminder to look up in the clouds while you’re out in your yard or out

In addition to what Joe said, another feature that eBird rolled out back in

Among other things, a little gull in breeding plumage would lack the eye arcs
seen on the bird you photographed. This one looks like a better fit for
Franklin’s gull to me. Nice capture!

I think the reason you can’t see the white wingtips well is due to the exposure
needed to capture the bird in poor lighting conditions. If ya squint hard

This looks more like a chestnut-sided warbler to me. It appears he hasn’t

Appears to be a Swainson's Thrush, which belongs to the same family as
Robins here in America do. The other one of these that you will run into

Hope that is helpful!

Thanks for sharing as well. If it looks like it headed north there is a
