There was a large raft of hundreds of American Coot , an American White Pelican and lots of duck species. We checked out the shrubs for songbirds while returning to the car and were rewarded with a displaying Red-winged Blackbird. With the sun gaining in strength and out of the wind we were soon quite comfortable.
