Hey Tweets!
On the way home from a week long family trip at Yellowstone (Fun!), I invoked Father's Day perogative and stopped by Sprague Lake for a quick bit of birding!
Nice singing GRAY CATBIRD at the firt boat launch on the east side of the lake. A few REDHEAD as well, a pair of RED_NECKED GREBES. Windy and spitting Rain .. Eventually saw all 6 SWALLOW species flying around ...
CASPIAN TERN, but no Black Terns on this side of the lake.

Sprague Sewage Treatment Ponds - 2 adult FRANKLIN'S GULLS (gorgeous!), 2 immature BONAPARTE'S GULLS, Lots of WILSONS'S PHALAROPE, several AMERICAN AVOCET. Ducks were dominated by NORTHERN SHOVELER and GREEN-WINGED TEAL, some LESSER SCAUP and RING-NECKED DUCK, and RUDDY DUCK.

Nice stop on the LONG drive home!
(now I just need to catch up on the 250 posts to Tweeters!)
