I spent an hour and a half driving/walking through the arsenal this afternoon. Mostly it was walking on the west side of Lake Ladora. There was a total of 55 species, with a good variety of water fowl and sparrows. Highlights include (in the order seen, so this will be fairly random):
Franklin's Gull
Great Horned Owl on nest with two owlets
Loggerhead Shrike
Vesper Sparrow
Sage Thrasher
3 species of swallow
Eared Grebe
Western Grebe
Say's Phoebe
Ruddy Duck
Canvasback
Savannah Sparrow
Marsh Wren
Turkey Vulture
Orange-crowned Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler (both types and a possible intergrade)
Mountain Bluebird
Lincoln's Sparrow
Hopefully, I'll have a picture or two up later tonight. Most of the sparrows were skulking, so who knows.
