Hey-o I hadn't been out to Walden Ponds in awhile, so I thought I would see what was out there today. I was hoping to see some spring birds, and there were a few to be seen. Back by the Osprey pond, there were a number of Western Bluebirds working through the field with a bunch of Robins. No Osprey on the nest yet. Walking along the back, I saw a bunch of Tree Swallows flying around over the trees near Boulder Creek, it looked like eight or ten. There were a bunch of Red-Tailed Hawks, including one that puzzled me for a bit, but it appeared to be a juvenile dark-morph, according to Sibley. When I finally make it back to Cottonwood Marsh, I was hoping to find a shorebird of some sort, and sure enough, there was a Greater Yellowlegs wading around with all of the Green-Winged Teal! I was going to take a picture, but my camera battery was low, and I couldn't get it to cooperate. A pelican was seen out there over the weekend, but it was nowhere to be found today. A few Killdeer were running around on the mudflats as well.
