Peggy and I decided to go somewhere new with a long  but not too  
taxing walk possible.  We settled on Lafayette Reservoir, where we did  
the shorter loop around the lake (ca. 2.7 miles).  Best birds were a  
cleary intergrade NORTHERN FLICKER (south side of lake), a lone female  
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD, a migrant calling PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, and  
a ROCK WREN using the slopping cement by the parking lot.  Forty-three  
species overall at mid-day.  We look forward to visiting again when  
the Bald Eagle has returned.  We were disappointed not to find any  
Wood Ducks - anyone know which coves they prefer?  Thanks and good  
birding.
