Hi all,
8:00-9:50
  Birded Lake Artemesia this morning.  The Canada Geese came flying in (many) and with them were about 17 Snow Geese
White and 4 Blue phase. I scrutinized them carefully hoping for a Ross, but no.
  The Cackling Canada Goose was present as well. It was close to shore, so I got to study it at length and compare it to it's larger relatives.
Here's my quick list:

Canada Geese (many)
"Cackling" Canada Goose 1  
Snow Geese  16-17
American Coot
Ruddy Ducks
Mallards
Redheads 4
Pied billed Grebes
Ring necked Ducks 8-9
Belted Kingfisher 1
Ring billed Gulls 15-25
American Robins
Northern Mockingbird
Northern Cardinal
