Hi everyone,
This morning after dropping off Mariel I birded the usual spot and even though it was slow I was pleasantly surprised to see a Eastern Phoebe hanging out at my spot. This is the first time I have seen a Phoebe there in 3 years I have been birding this location. After I left on my way home I decided to bird around our home for a little while since it was slow at my morning spot. I had good luck today finding a nice variety of birds at the lake on Commerce Way where Melato and I have reported some cool findings in the past including Melato's Bald Eagle and the Northern Harrier I saw there on the dead tree which seems to be a magnet for Birds of Prey. Today there was a A. Kestrel perched on the tree as I drove by so I decided to go park close to the lake and check it out. As soon as I scanned the lake I noticed a small group of ducks that I have not seen there in the past, there was a group of six Ruddy Duck floating in the middle of the lake. Many other birds were seen at the lake today. Here is what I saw:
