There was some great movement on the lake today.  There were a few
shorebirds moving with 3 avocets being the best sighting.  There were
several flocks of dunlin.  One flock was harassed by a merlin.



This was the first day I have seen many waterfowl.  Of note were two surf
scoters and the first red-breasted mergansers of the season.  Also of note
was a red-necked grebe sitting on the lake.
