This makes a total of 36 species seen
today. The number of shorebirds seen
was much smaller than on May 1.
Plovers, for example, that were quite
numerous May 1 were not even seen
today. I don't know whether this was
due to the time the trip was
taken (1 to 3 P.M.) or not. Today was the
1st time I had seen American (Willow)
Goldfinches on the ranch, + the first
time this year I had seen Double-crested
Cormorants on the ranch. A pair of
Canvasback were seen in the large
drainage ditch at the south end of the
ranch.
