To Rusty Blackbirds on North side of lake, along bike path in tangles just
before lake comes into clear view (just past where the foot bridge is
visible from).  One of the two males was singing repeatedly, and allowed
for fairly close approach.

12 Greater Scaups - 10 in  a raft in middle of lake, 2 at far west end with
the Rudy duck and grebes.  + 3 Red Heads.
