User's notes
Just going through photos on the computer. With heat haze, it was hard to focus on waterbirds in distance and did not have the right clothes to attempt anything closer. Turns out the Pink-Eared Ducks were there and in numbers. Possibly also Grey Teals and Pacific Black Ducks, but want to record the Pinkies for sure!
