Hi All,
 
McMillan Reservoir was harder to bird today as the ducks have been sheltering out of the wind on the far south east shore, but still had some good action.  for some reason there were far fewer gulls than usual - maybe the large Herring gull flock kept migrating?
 
Best bird was FOS AMERICAN COOT (3)!
 
Here's the eBird list: 
 
 
10 species

Mallard  2
