I watched the lake this morning not expecting much. I was wrong, it was
actually pretty good. The big thing were the swallows. I ended up seeing
18 cave swallows and had an additional 16 unidentified that were more than
likely also caves. Also of note was an adult little gull. There started
off being a handful of Bonaparte's feeding offshore. More birds continued
to join them until there were several hundred feeding. The little gull was
in this flock. Around 9:30 the flock broke up and before too long there
were only about 50 left.
