Tweets - It was in the 50's with no wind, and we had no precipitation for
over two hours of the survey, before it started to mizzle.  At 10:15, it
started to rain.  It was pretty birdy until around 10:00, and then we found
some water birds later.

Highlights:
     Seven species of duck, with AMERICAN WIGEON, RING-NECKED DUCK, and
HOODED MERGANSER at the Rowing Club pond
     Wilson's Snipe - Great looks at ~8 below the weir
     Good flock of gulls, though only the most expected four species
     Pileated Woodpecker - A pair flew north up the Dog Meadow silently
     Merlin - Quick flyby a little downstream of the weir
     Western Meadowlark - ~15 on grass/gravel parking area south of the
Climbing Rock *again*

A late scan of the lake turned up two RUDDY DUCKS, First of Year (FOY), and
two HORNED GREBE, First of Fall (FOF).

Misses today included Green-winged Teal, Cooper's Hawk, Northern Shrike,
Steller's Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Purple Finch, and Pine Siskin.

For the day, 56 species.  Adding Ruddy Duck, we're at 134 species for the
survey in 2025.
