Tweeters,
Blustery south breeze, scattered clouds mostly covered the sky, and a
rain squall just moved through Turning Basin #3. The OSPREY I reported
in a one-liner yesterday was most likely the one that was on the Hamm
Creek nest platform when I went outside. Still only one bird here.
(Contrasts with the over 400 starlings that were also at Hamm Creek.)

Canada Goose (9)
Gadwall (6)
