I rode my bike through Myrtle Edwards Park today and found it to be fairly birdy.

In the water:
One Eurasian Wigeon among the Americans (just like last year)
Tons of Scaups and Surf Scoters (dunno which Scaup)
Barrow's Goldeneye (lots)
2 Western Grebes napping among all of the above
2 Red-Necked Grebes
A Horned Grebe and maybe an Eared Grebe (can't say with certainty)

Not in the water:
dozens of Yellow-Rumped Warblers in the shrubs along the train tracks, fleeing in panic as I rode by (twice)
House Finches
White-Crowned Sparrows
Golden-Crowned Sparrow
The Usual Suspects (Starlings, Crows, etc.)

There were probably lots of other things, but I didn't have much time...
