I needed to get some consulting work done, so I did not spend too much time outside today. I did stop by Swan Lake for a few minutes after dropping Rowan off at preschool.
Weather: Mostly cloudy, with some rain showers. What little breeze I noticed around the house seemed to be coming from the Northwest.
Birds: At Swan Lake I saw 5 American Coots, a female Bufflehead, Scaup, Ring-necked Ducks, a Cackling Goose, a Double-crested Cormorant, and quite a few gulls. Most of the gulls appeared to be Glaucous-winged Gulls, a few were Thayer’s Gulls, and I saw one that I think was probably a third cycle Herring Gull.
It was quiet around the house when I got back from dropping off Rowan. I walked around the neighborhood a little bit and did not see any birds. However, later in the day I noticed the juncos were out in the backyard.
