Today I went back to Hoover dam.  There was nothing to see from on to of 
the dam so I walked back to the west side and walked north along the 
shore.  There were the usual Canada Geese (one even had a neck band, 
mallards, and ring-billed gulls.  There was a flock of six American coots 
swiming in the lake.
I wasn't ready to go home so I took another walk across the dam and I'm 
glad I did.  There were now 18 Buffleheads (males and females though not 
evenly paired) and 10 mallards in the spillway pond.

I still didn't want to go home so I went to Alum Creek Dam.  There was a 
flock of 31 American Coots in the water.  There were only a few gulls 
flying overhead.  I didn't see anything else because that's when I decided 
I was ready to go home.
