Today Becca and I birded Lemmon Valley, Damonte Wetlands and the Sparks Marina. We made the following sightings of note:

Swan Lake Nature Area – 1 White-fronted Goose among the Canada’s in the field next to the parking lot. Note: The board walk is closed for repairs.

Lemmon Valley Sewage Ponds – We re-found the female Barrow’s Goldeneye but we could not find the male Eurasian Wigeon. There was also an early male Cinnamon Teal present.

Damonte Wetlands – could not find the avocet reported yesterday, however there was a Great Egret, a Greater Yellowlegs, 3 Least Sandpipers and a Say’s Phoebe. There were also about a hundred gulls, all California and Ring-billed.

Most of the gulls at the Sparks Marina were Ring-billed and California except for four Herring Gulls, 3 adults and one first cycle.
