The water came right up to the walkway, and a few Ring-billed Gulls knifed into the wind, sailing over dozens of ducks and coots. |
Ducks, coots, teals, terns, gulls, cormorants, waders, egrets, plovers and herons are some of the birds that assemble here. |
Down in the pond there were mallards, northern shovelers, coots and a few gallinules. |
A pair of coots, some moorhens, a little grebe and a single Little Egret rounded out the waterbirds. |
