I stopped by Hoover Dam and nearby Inniswood Park this afternoon, and found interesting migrants, including

Long-tailed Ducks - 2 females were in the bay just north of the dam, so close to shore that I did a double-take.
Red-br.Mergansers - still 4-5 around the deep water above the dam
Common Loon at least 1 Spring-plumaged bird was in the deep water above the dam
Horned Grebe - 2 in the same general area
Pied-billed Grebes - 4 in the small lagoon just north of the dam
Cormorants - lots of individuals fishing in the reservoir
Red-headed Woodpecker - an adult is still around the forest loop trail at Inniswood
E.Phoebe - at least 1 was in the riparian area below the dam
Field Sparrows - at least 2 were around the edges of the field below the dam
Chipping Sparrow - at least 1 was around the gardens at Inniswood
Fox Sparrows - 2 were along the riparian edge below the dam, and another was at Inniswood
