caught within half an hour.
California gulls, both mature and
young of the year, gathered
in front of the camp.
We visited both of the pelican
nesting islands. They nested
on both this year, which
they have not done in several
years. About 100 young
pelicans swam afar. They
cannot yet fly. Perhaps 75
adults were with them.
Since no other adult pelicans
have been seen, it is
probable that they are fishing
in Redrock Lake at this
season of the year.
Two Cormorants flew from
the island at our approach.
A Spotted Sandpiper and a
Wilson Phalarope were just off
shore.
Several hundred Canada
goose were seen in large
flocks at the southeast
arm and the Flat Mountain
arm of the lake. They were
in flocks of over a hundred each.
No cranes or swans
were seen or reported.
