Observation details
Today, 19 Oct, approximately 9 Surf Scoters were at Layton Springs, a bay on the east side of Crowley Reservoir, close to shore and drifting among the fisherman float-tubes. These birds continue this fall's pattern of a good sea duck influx to the interior. There was only one full adult male and one adult female; the rest were immatures. Just north of Layton Springs in the grassy shore margin, at least three Chestnut-collared Longspurs were in with American Pipits. Jon Dunn and Debbie House also arrived to enjoy these easily-flushed sparrows and to clinch their id, and later tallied 8 Chestnut-collared Longspurs.
