A quick walk in Coyote Creek Lagoon last Sunday yielded little overall diversity of species, however we had great sightings of a Forster’s Tern dipping and flying in breeding plumage.
Forster's Tern - Sterna forsteri
A big flock of American Avocets, Marbled Godwits, and Long-billed Curlews also took off in beautiful shapes and patterns. Other interesting species seen were Snowy Egrets (also in breeding plumage) and Common Ravens.
