Finally, the waterfowl are coming in to the lake. Today we saw 47 mallards, 2 green-winged teal, 14 northern pintails, 67 common mergansers, 2 canada geese and 3 white-fronted geese. There were 2 great blue herons on the shore and 2 killdeer. There were two evening grosbeaks north of "Cayuse Falls" in the cottonwoods. Nothing else out of the ordinary to report. The Townsend's solitaires are still there and so is one northern shrike.
It was actually a pleasant walk this morning. After the strong winds and all the rain yesterday, it was a pleasant surprise to have very little wind and even a little sunshine peaking through the clouds. Ginger
