I arrived at 8:05. It was cloudy with temperatures in the mid 40s but there was no wind and it was milder that I expected for that reason. My target bird was the Brown Pelican reported there yesterday, it would be a state bird for me. The bird was not apparent from the dam site so I moved into Bell Slough figuring I check the lake more when I was done. I did see the Brown Pelican when I checked the lake the second time. 38 species in about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
