There are still some species on there that we usually find such as ruddy turnstone, brant, wood duck, hooded merganser, golden eagle (yes, people have been searching!), and so forth.

It's also surprising that we haven't found any red-masked parakeets: they're widespread in the area and this is the first year we can count them. Not sure if they're still gathering in big roosts this late into the spring, but if they are, try Temple City at the junction between Workman and Primrose or at Temple City Park.

If you've seen any of these birds, please let us know!

Thank you,

Lance
