In addition to the other birds reported myself or my friend Allison had 2 Bobolinks in two different areas and a Scarlet Tanager north of the main parking lot.  In fact there were several birds by the water just south of the Lakeshore including the resident Towhee, a Lincoln's Sparrow and an American Redstart.  This was a good location for a Redstart two days ago as well. Allison had her best luck with an Indigo Bunting, her Bobolink and Chestnut-sided Warbler, among a few others, at the SW point. The Northern Waterthrush was along the shore by the marina, near the willows.  Patience and a slow pace was the order of the day
