Saw my first Western Kingbirds of 2000.  Got some great photos of a Cactus Wren, and hopefully, of the returning Ash-throated Flycatcher.

Almost all the waterfowl has left the marsh, but I was surprised to find a small flock of Redheads.

Couldn't find the Vermillion Flycatchers, but suspect that they're still around.
