Thursday evening had double-crested cormorants, Bonaparte's gulls and a tree swallow at North Reservoir. Locals at Long Lake told me that "at least one" of the "big peregrines", which I took to indicate ospreys, was back but I have not seen any sign thereof. This morning a dozen swallows, which I assume were all tree swallows, were at Nimisila and Turkeyfoot Lake had 31 ruddy ducks. Common loons and horned grebes are all around as well.
