Late this afternoon I walked the Modoc Open Space. There are lots of blooming eucs, and this has been a good place for orioles in past years, but no dice today.
I looked over Laguna Blanca in the last light, binoculars only. There are lots of ducks here, especially Bufflehead. Highlights: a female Common Goldeneye and 7 female Common Mergansers. After I'd been watching them for about 10 minutes, the mergansers flew off to the north.
