I was able to see the Hoover/Galena Willets from around 6-7pm this
evening.  Photos of the birds in flight show at least 124 individuals
(!!!) and, try as I might, none of them looked like an Eastern; so all
Westerns, as expected.

Other nice birds in the area include Common and Forster's Terns giving
some excellent side-by-side comparisons, a flyover Caspian Tern, some
lingering Red-breasted Mergs and a nice mix of swallows (no martins,
no cliff).
