At about 10:30 this morning I saw nine tundra swans on O'Shaughnessy 
Reservoir at area L just south of the Home Road marina.  They were 
somewhat distant but I knew I could get a better look if I went down the 
road to area K.  Sure enough, there was a better view of them from area K 
but before I got a chance to take another look a guy in a kayak came along 
and scared them away.  They flew off to the north so they may still be on 
the Reservoir.  Also seen were many American coots and pied-billed 
grebes.  I had my first of season (except for at Lake Erie) Bonaparte's 
gulls just north of the Home Road bridge.
