I parked at the boat ramp parking lot, and they were just to the east therefrom. Several boaters on the lake could prompt them to move about a bit. I only saw 4 birds, one male, three female. Also seen during my short 15 minute visit were: Horned Grebe 1 (near breeding plumage) Bufflehead 1 (male) Ruddy Duck 1 Coot 1 I didn't get west of the boat ramp, so other treasures may be about!
