Fwd: eBird Report - Tolo Lake, May 25, 2012

Hi All - 

I stopped at Tolo Lk on my way home from McCall last evening and found a nice variety of (mostly) waterbirds. Highlights 6 each Eared Grebes and Red-necked Phalaropes and a single Black Tern. A pair of Ospreys are using the the platform. There were several hundred swallows foraging in the cool breezy conditions - all Tree and Bank as far as I could tell.

I also noted a Eurasian Collared-Doves along US 95 at Cottonwood and Whitebird (they are also now apparently in McCall  not surprisingly).

thanks, Charles.
