Stan Wallace and I birded around this pond this afternoon for a while, and
ran into Carol Golbert also.  
We saw mostly Canada Geese (lots of them!), but also:

American Black Duck - Mallard hybrid (1 male, 1 female)

Ring Necked Duck - 1

No sign of the Ross's Goose - darn it!

 

Then down around the Cove Park on Northshore:

3 Horned Grebes

75-80 Bonaparte Gulls

A few Ring Billed Gulls

Great Blue Herons - 2

American Coots - 20-30

Galag Barnyard Goose - 2 + one probably a hybrid of this and something else
???

 

Stopping on Northshore at a couple of good thickets, there were plenty of
small flocks of Cedar Waxwings, a few yellow rumped warblers, and other
usual suspects.

 

Beautiful day for playing hookey!
