Aurora Reservoir

December 11, 2019

Richard Stevens:

High temperature today was a pleasant 50 degrees.  Winds were 10-11 mph during my visit.

I found the time to scope Aurora Reservoir from the lower parking area this afternoon.  An adult and younger Lesser Black-backed Gull, a Mew Gull, two California Gulls were among several hundred Ring-billed Gulls below the Pavilion.

A Pacific Loon swam off mile 4.5.  No additional uncommon birds were observed.

I hiked to the north end of the Pronghorn Nature Open Space north of Quincy Avenue and Aurora Reservoir.  No uncommon birds or Short-eared Owls were encountered today.
