    This morning's view-haul:
    
    The Red-necked Grebe, first down by El Embarcadero and later up toward 
    the islands....
    
    The Tufted Duck, in the raft not far from El Embarcadero
    
    The Ring-necked Duck, in the scavenger flock by the nature center
    
    The female Redhead, ditto
    
    THREE Common Mergansers, out by the floats behind the islands
    
    Lots of Common Goldeneyes doing their mating head-dance near the floats
    
    A pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes among the Commons
    
    A wild White Pelican come to visit the rescue bird
    
    A Belted Kingfisher on one of the bare trees
    
    Basically, all the notables except the Green Heron, the hybrid 
    merganser-goldeneye, and the various hawks, and all the usual suspects 
    too....
