While driving home one afternoon, saw a log in the lake completely covered in Double-crested Cormorants, one holding its wings out. My brain oddly jumped to the caption "I said 6 feet!"

The worst day birding is better than the best day working.

Okay, uploading to a separate site didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so sticking with posting pictures here.
While looking at the latest Sentinel 2 imagery (Great site if you haven't seen it https://sentinel2explorer.esri.com/ ) I saw that the excess water in the area had doubled the size of a reservoir and filled a pond marked on the map I'd never noticed. So off I went to explore.
Bounced a bit on a dry dike before coming to a sand dune. Carefully crawled to the top (me and sand are not the bestest of friends) and saw a wide expanse of desert was now a glittering lake.
I spotted my first American Avocets of the year wading around in the muck on the shore.
Lots of yellow-headed blackbirds croaking and calling from the trees and reeds surrounding the water.
There's a large tree that serves as a nest area for Great Egrets though today there was a bunch of Double-crested Cormorants and Great-tailed Grackles.
Bobbing in the water were a bunch of ducks. Canvasbacks, American Coots, Ruddy Ducks, and Mallards that I could make out.
All in all, pretty good day of checking out a new water area after work.

Spent a week in San Diego and saw quite a few birds while there, including some lifers. I won't post too many pics, but just wanted to share who kept me company while I was in Southern California.
