We had a good haul of birds at Walden Ponds yesterday late afternoon between showers.
On the pond we enjoyed: 1 marbled godwit, 1 willet, 1 white-faced ibis, half dozen American avocets, several killdeer, cinnamon teal, blue-winged teal, Northern shovelers, and a great blue heron.
Of note in the shrubbery: a pair of American goldfinches, yellow-rumped and yellow warblers, white-crowned sparrow.
We were at Heil Ranch on Monday where we heard and saw wild turkeys but surprisingly few other birds.
