Our total count was 17 different kinds of birds. I didn’t know the names of all of them. Sometimes I just make up names or guess. I once asked, “What’s the name of that yellow headed blackbird?” Turns out I had correctly identified the bird. So red winged blackbird and yellow headed blackbird are pretty easy to remember.  I’m getting better at knowing other types. I can now identify cormorant, avocet and grebes.  I’m pretty sure I saw more than two types of ducks but I only counted two.

The pelicans are my favorite. They are big and pretty chill. We probably got within 50 feet of some.
