Hi Everyone!

I made a quick stop at Parkway Lakes yesterday morning. Coyote Creek is no
longer dry at this location, the water has been turned on in the past week
or so! I didn't see any Wilson's Snipe but I did see *Common Mergansers*,
*Buffleheads*, *Ring-necked Ducks* and a couple of *Gadwalls*. ebird:

Next stop was Máyyan 'Ooyákma- Coyote Ridge. For some reason, I decided to
do the whole loop which is very hard on my feet! But the weather was
perfect. *Horned Larks* were abundant and mostly along the Tule Elk Trail.
A surprise was 4 *Varied Thrush* flying over! I also spotted one *Ferruginous
Hawk* up there and another over Hwy 101.

Happy birding!
