A good turnout this morning at the Delta Ponds produced the following list.  A 
migrant flock of Yellow-rumps had both Mrytle and Audubon forms in perhaps 
equal numbers, including also, one Black-throated Gray and many Orange-crowned 
Warblers.  A marauding river otter working beneath surface of the Wood Duck 
pond was the probable cause for the total lack of waterfowl in this usually 
show-case pond.  Tracing the ripples, this mammal seemed to be covering the 
territory in the shortist time possible.
