Hi all,
Denise and I enjoyed a splendid evening at Spring Park reservoir and Basalt Mountain.
As we left home, 4 adult Franklin’s Gulls flew low over the house, heading west down-valley, a great sight!
At Spring Park, with no heatwaves, we were able to give everything a fairly good look with our scopes.
Good numbers and variety of ducks, plus many Western and Eared Grebes, as well as
3 Barrow’s Goldeneye
13 Franklin’s Gulls
1 Ring-billed Gull
1 (Long-billed) Dowitcher
13 American Avocets
3 Lesser Yellowlegs
4 Killdeer
As dusk approached we headed to Basalt mountain, where had 2 DUSKY GROUSE and a NORTHERN PYGMY OWL
No sign of any Flammulated Owls up there yet.
The setting new moon made for a wonderful vista as we headed back to the car.
Good birding all
