Just as I had gotten my scope set up to take a better look, an OSPREY made several passes at the Eagle, then flew out of sight to the rear cove (where the second dam is). The Eagle was still there at 8:25, but gone by 8:30. Directly south of the boat launch (across the narrowest portion) was the RED-NECKED GREBE, diving and heading generally west. I was able to get quite nice looks, and believe this bird to be an adult (although I won't say with 100% confidence). I lost track of it a little after 8:30. I had time for a brief visit to the east end. I finally got to see the ROCK WREN along the entrance creek (after going, I think, 0 for 4 here in 2002). The water level was higher than I've seen it all season: there were no exposed mud flats, and the number of ducks (except for Ruddies) was low -- in particular, I didn't find any Common Mergansers or Ring-necked Ducks today. I did see 8 WESTERN GREBEs. (Also on the reservoir were EARED and PIED-BILLED.) Cheers, Al _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
