On Tuesday the walkers saw a nice selection of birds including 4 horned grebes, a Wilson's snipe, 2 calliope hummingbirds and a gray catbird (the earliest record for the County). Since I missed the Tuesday walk, I decided to walk this morning. There was a chipping sparrow at the south end of the lake and the lake was full of ducks! 2 pair of cinnamon teal, 13 green-winged teals, 7 ring-necked ducks, 10 scaup, 7 shovelers, 36 buffleheads, 13 wigeons, 3 mallards and 7 coots. Two osprey were busy fishing. The owl nest has been vandalized, but hopefully the chicks are okay. The Corp Ranger and Game Warden are investigating. Ginger
