We saw an eastern kingbird on the northeast side of the trail just before you cross the creek. Bullock's orioles can be heard and seen all around the lake in the cottonwoods. There were several western wood peewees on the west side of the canal and we heard five yellow-breasted chats along the canal. One was sitting in the top of a tree for great looks. Western tanagers were moving through. We saw several bright males and heard many more. There are a pair of spotted sandpipers now at the south end of the lake. Yellow warblers, lazuli buntings and house wrens continue to be around in abundance. Along the lower trail north of the parking lot, we saw two MacGillivray's warblers and a Wilson's warbler. We saw 15 rough-winged swallows today - a very high number. There were also many cliff swallows and there are tree swallows around all the boxes. Very birdy day! Ginger
