Comments

We were excited to see our first Yellow-shafted Flicker in the willows at the Rush Creek Delta. It was a female (no moustache stripe). Also, we missed the high numbers of Ring-billed Gulls Leah Culp had yesterday (17)...we had 5, all in first basic plumage. Also, 1 Snowy Egret and 4 Greater Yellowlegs. What a place, that Mono Lake, especially on a stunning October day like today!
