I always enjoy birding at Reifel. It wasn't as active as I think some of the ducks are moving on.
I was surprised by the number of Herons. I counted 41. Managed a photo of one.

A pair of Wood Ducks were checking out one of the nest boxes. The male flew and then landed in the water.

There were at least 6 Tree Swallows present. Always great to hear their call. Several Marsh Wrens were belting out their call.
Towhees were very active

This shoveler was somewhat cooperative for a few photos

Next stop was Brunswick Point. A RT Loon was a highlight. Had five raptor species including a Rough-legged Hawk and a Peregrine.
Great spring day to be outside.
