I went to Paradise mainly to check some lakes for ducks. The cormorants have arrived.

The Sedge Wren was a highlight for me today. I was even able to get a diagnostic photo.

Other highlighs were:
250 Tree Swallow (about half at Lake Patrick and about half at Lake Paradise)
FOS Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Yellow-rumped Warbler
Eastern Meadowlarks
Common Ground Dove
Merlin (snatching pray on the wing)
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are always a highlight for me. Saw 6 today.
