Marston Reservoir can be viewed from Old S. Wadsworth Blvd from the west side.
The lake can be viewed also from the east side, from Bow Mar Dr. Since The

Hi all,
I apologize for not posting for ages. I had a serious accident last June and it
is taking longer than I thought to recover. It did not help, when I tried to
send this and my computer decided not to work.
*Of note, I had my first Broad-tailed Hummingbird show up in my yard APRIL
11th.
I saw 2, first cycle Glaucous Gulls at Marston Reservoir today sitting on the
ice. They were seen from the east side, from Bow Mar Dr. Many Herring Gulls
and 1, first cycle Thayer's, and several California Gulls were around the lake,
with many Ring-billed Gulls. Viewing is good from Bow Mar Dr.
I checked Marston this afternoon. To my surprise, I saw a Common Loon way out
in the middle of the lake. [A bit early]. Many Western Grebes, Franklin's and
Ring-billed Gulls, and 4 California Gulls were present. Nothing unusual.
Happy Birding!
