Today, I visited Coyote Lake and evidence of springs arrival is abundant. Waterfowl included Ruddy Duck, Common Merganser, Ring-necked Duck, Double-crested Cormorant. I saw two American White Pelicans on the lake.There were dozens of Western and Clarks Grebes with several rushing pairs.
At Mendoza Ranch, I saw several birds investigating nest cavities. The highlight of the day was an adult Bald Eagle perched next to the parking lot for several minutes.
