Anyway, didn't find either, but as soon as I put my scope on a tree on the west side of the reservoir I saw an adult BALD EAGLE land in it. After scanning from the boat launch I drove to the park office and walked to the east end of the reservoir. Lots of birds there! Saw a PRAIRIE FALCON fly over the water and perch on a serpentine outcrop. Other birds there included lots of waterfowl, with COMMON GOLDENEYES, RING-NECKED DUCKS, and COMMON MERGANSERS, also 1 AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, 3 BLACK-NECKED STILTS, HERRING GULLS, SAY'S PHOEBE, and a large flock of AMERICAN PIPITS. I flushed a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK both on the way in and on the way out. Walking back to the car I checked out the blackbird flocks, finding a few TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS and a single BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD. A FOX SPARROW (typical sooty type) was with the crowned sparrows feeding on the roadside.
