After a quick check of water levels on the floodplain east of the Tall
Forest, I visited the two public trails and the TNC Barn ponds this
morning. Highlights were two cackling geese, 13 blue-winged teal, fair
numbers of shorebirds (nothing special), three acorn woodpeckers, one
western flycatcher, two ash-throated flycatchers, three Hutton’s vireos, a
western tanager and four black-headed grosbeaks. The Point was by far the
best spot on the route today.
