What a difference a week makes. Last week there were tons of ducks on the lake – this morning there was one horned grebe and two green-winged teals. The skies were full of Vaux's swifts, barn swallows and a few violet green swallows. The south end of the lake was very quiet (we didn't even hear a song sparrow). However as we walked toward the bench overlooking the lake, Sue spotted a Wilson's warbler and MerryLynn saw a Townsend's solitaire fly into a tree. That is our first solitaire for the fall. A Cooper's hawk flew out of the trees as we walked along the north shore of the lake. Along the canal were several killdeer, two western sandpipers and a greater yellowlegs.
