Barr Lake (Adams Co.) Oct 15

[David Dowell]

I made a quick stop by the ever-shrinking Barr Lake (Adams County) this morning.  The highlight was a Red-necked Grebe, about 50 yards from the dam.  Western Grebes, cormorants, pelicans, and gulls remain numerous.  One of the ongoing Lesser Black-backed Gulls was present.

The most numerous passerine this morning, other than European Starling, was American Pipit.  The pipits were particularly numerous at the southwest end of the lake, in the company of some Long-billed Dowitchers, Killdeer, and Least Sandpipers.
