When I arrived, a couple were looking through their scope at some Snow
Geese in the middle of the lake. They left when I got out of the car.
I scoped the geese, counting at first 25 Snow Geese. I could of swore
that I saw at least one Ross's mixed in. The wind and waves and heat
distortion made it difficult to make it out. They took flight after a
imm. Bald Eagle flew over and I was able to get a very distant flight
shot of the geese. A Red-necked Grebe also made a brief appearance,
but I could not relocate it after the eagle shuffle. The geese were
gone by 6pm.
For pictures of the geese:

Birds of Note: 24 Snow Geese (~7 dark), possibly 1 or more??? Ross's
Goose, 1 Red-necked Grebe (looked like it was going to topple over
head first - life bird), 1 imm Bald Eagle, 1 Bufflehead, Lesser Scaup,
Ring-necked Ducks, 2 Killdeer, 1 imm. Herring Gull.
