3 Black Terns found by Paul this morning continue with Forster's in a feeding frenzy over the grebe flock.

Friday morning at Sweetwater Reservoir there's a group of three juvenile Black Terns flying around the main part of the lake, often attracted to Western Grebe feeding frenzies. Also a continuing Bank Swallow around the fisherman's parking lot, and continuing three Neotropic Cormorants at the top end at dawn.
At the east end of Lower Otay Lake, there is a continuing Marbled godwit, two juvenile Short billed Dowitchers, and six Semipalmated Plovers-- all uncommon Inland.
Back on Tuesday, I had a Ridgway's Rail on the north side of the main Dairy Mart Pond, which is perhaps the first report from there in about 25 years.
