Hi All:
As Marcia mentioned, and a previous post predicted, the open flood gates
at the dam have created tumultous conditions, and the violent waters
have completely covered all rocky areas.  There is literally just
water.  I spent some time sifting through the thousands of Ring-bill
gulls, but came up with nothing more exotic than Greater Black-backed.
Will try again tomorrow with Marcia.
Did have 5 Black Crown Night Heron, 2 of these immature, all grouped
together on the downriver end of the island. A very brief glimpse of a
tern hovering into the same field as the herons, then could not find it
again.
