[EBB Sightings] Green Heron Lake Temescal

Hi all:

A pre-work trip into Lake Temescal (Broadway Terrace /
Oakland) had a Green Heron actively working around the
southwest corner of the lake. Beautiful light,
gorgeous bird. 

I zipped into Winton Ave and had a number of
selasphorous fly-bys. One bird finally perched, but
head-on towards me.  I thought I caught a notched tail
through the scope but opted to take pictures of the
little cutie, so it's a no-i.d. until I download the
pics tonight, and then it will likely be noted as
"selasphorous hummingbird."  
26 Cackling Geese were with the Canada Geese on the
south slope of Radio Towers hill across the channel
from the parking area. 

Good birding,
