The weather was great and we saw lots of interesting birds. We saw several AMERICAN PIPITS walking in the dried grass on the side of the old dump hill. In some of the ponds west of the dump we saw three kinds of teal: BLUE-WINGED TEAL, CINNAMON TEAL, AND GREEN-WINGED TEAL. We had nice looks at a SORA which stood quietly for us and then swam scross the water behind some reeds. We saw a PEREGRINE FALCON perched in one of the towers and then watched it swoop over a pond many times. We saw a couple of DUNLINS next to some least sandpipers for a nice size comparison. In the main West Pond we saw lots of ducks including two male REDHEADS, one male and one female CANVASBACK, and one BUFFLEHEAD. In the East Pond we saw several BONAPARTE'S GULLS and several RING-NECKED DUCKS (probably one female and one juvenile). Along the fence, we saw several LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES and SAY'S PHOEBES. We saw many other birds in addition to these highlights. All in all, it was a great field trip thanks to Frank! Take care.
