Birded Dump Marsh from 7-8 PM. Water levels very high (so are mosquito levels). Cutler Wetlands also very high with hardly any birds. Did not stop there and continued on to Dump Marsh. Various basilisk lizards on 94 Ave. Nothing really special at Dump: Coot, Green Heron, Little Blue Heron (4 immatures), Common Nighthawks, many Least Terns diving into water, White Ibis, Red-Bellied Woodpecker, BT Grackles, Turkey Vulture, Cattle Egret, Shrike, Red W. Blackbirds.
Did have a lifer Ringed Turtle-Dove at Shibui parking lot (Sunset and SW 102). Was hanging out with 2 Collared Doves. Smaller, noticeably paler, white vent. Also tamer. Reluctant to fly.
