While searching for a calling Hermit Thrush, a lovely male Purple Finch  
flew out and landed in the sunshine.  Never found the thrush.  New  waterfowl 
since I was there on Wednesday included 4 American Wigeon and one  
Bufflehead.  The male Gadwalls were displaying at close range at the east  end 
of the 
lake.  They fluffed out their head feathers and threw back their  heads 
jerkily while making a high pitched squeal note, over and over  again.  The 
females weren't impressed.
