Non-bird critters were also around:
Eastern Cottontail - At least a dozen seen, many quite small
Bobcat - Tony saw one pre-dawn
Black-tailed Deer - Two below the weir
Garter snake sp. - Only our 2nd sighting this year
Eight-spotted Skimmer - Several

Misses today included Pied-billed Grebe, Rock Pigeon, Rufous Hummingbird,
Green Heron, and Cliff Swallow.

For the day, 57 species
