Following up on an eBird report from Gary Shaffer, I found a male GREAT-TAILED
GRACKLE vocalizing at the Ave G pond
(http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S28374987) this afternoon. I
checked out Kirtland Ponds and Agate Lake, but did not detect much out of the
ordinary.....no Herring or Bonaparte's Gulls or American White Pelican that
others have reported.
Good birding,
