Our traditional "Look for Loons" walk was held today. We did manage to find  one on Baseline Reservoir. I also saw my first tree sparrows of the season. The weather might not seem like it, but the birds know winter is coming.

Reservoir. A couple of skulls going by on the calm water helped corral the grebe to where we could watch it for a long time. It was nice to see this occasional visitor from the north today.
