I did see 10 Wild Turkeys and 1 wild boar calmly eating in the first corral (the person working there says they are not allowed to harm/kill them. She reported a large "flock" of birders going down the levee trail in the AM.) At Calero Reservoir I saw two loons next to each other, one larger than the other. The larger one, the COMMON LOON, with its big dagger bill, was soon scared by a Skidoo-boat and flew off in its sort of lumbering way. I relocated the PACIFIC LOON: smaller, straight bill, dark back with white barring, gray nape and head, white around its throat and face, little dark chin strap, white not visible on its flanks. Looks pretty much like the Juvenile in Sibley. It was near the dam when I left. I did not have a scope (hey, I was supposed to be watching a soccer game), but the loon got very close to shore and I could follow it for quite awhile. I also saw one Common Goldeneye and two Buffleheads, 8 American White Pelicans and gazillions (scientific term) of American Coots, among other ducks. What a beautiful day to accidentally be able to go birding!
