(Anderson & Coyote Reservoirs plus Canada Road and back out to 152) I know Anderson Reservoir can get a lot of boat traffic during a day, but we were there before people arrived. We had great views of Clark's, Western and Eared Grebes feeding together. An Osprey and Belted Kingfisher could also be seen fishing. Traveling between Anderson and Coyote Reservoirs we ran into more American Kestrels than could count along with every morph of Red-Tail Hawk. We encountered Golden Eagles twice during the day and the Yellow-billed Magpies were in large flocks. At Coyote Reservoir we found shorebirds and songbirds probing the mud together. Some of these birds included Wilson's Snipe, Greater Yellowlegs, Western and Least Sandpipers, Black-necked Stilts, Dowitchers (not going there) and a Spotted Sandpiper. We also encountered Tarantulas crossing the road on several occasions in addition to spotting several flocks of turkeys and many, many feral pigs.
