I was surprised by the number of visitors for a Friday when I arrived at Reifel, but it was a nice day. The breeze was on the cool side, but it was petering out. Unfortunately it was fairly quiet on the birding front.
I did find and spend some time with some Hooded Mergansers on one of the inner ponds in some nice light.
