This morning there were four Hooded Merganser feeding in Jewel Lake; Two females, two basic plumage males. Fishing was quite good and one bird caught a fish so large he had a tough time getting it down. Leafing through my Peterson Freshwater Fishes, I'd guess the fish to be genus Lepomis.
Lots of birdsong with Wilson's Warbler and Warbling Vireo singing up a storm.
