Tree Sparrows very active and a few bank sparrows but you have to look carefully.  Caspian Tern, Forster's Terns over the marina. A green heron has taken up residence in the marsh opposite to the marina. A pair of nesting Mocking birds, a group of four bobolinks, yellow warbler, spotted sandpiper, numerous red wing blackbird nesting pairs, vast flocks of cormorants flying in line over the water 30 - 40 in each. Lesser Scaup, Mallards, 1 pair of long tail ducks with new spring molt colours, cowbirds, grackles, and numerous unidentified sparrows.  Many nesting Swans and Canada geese with at least one pair of geese with a fresh new brood of 3 goslings.
