    After visiting Coyote Hills this morning, I drove on up to Lake Merritt 
    hoping to photograph that Tufted Duck. I missed him, but did see a pair of 
    BARROW'S GOLDENEYE displaying together about 10.30 am, near the 
    construction on the southwest side of the lake. I was able to get some 
    pictures, pretty distant and in harsh light, so not the best, but they 
    give some idea of the action.
    
    At Coyote Hills, no rarities, but (photographers take note) MARSH WRENS 
    are singing and gathering nest material out in the open, which in my 
    experience is a rarity for the shutterbug set. Thanks to Steve Zamek for 
    the tip.
