As we were headed out of Los Angeles area we saw a park with a bunch of ducks and geese walking around; so we decided to stop. The first thing we came across was some domestic geese and a lot of coots. We saw one that had leucism (pictured below).

We made our way around and over the bridge and saw a pair of House Finches. We also saw a Downy Woodpecker and some Yellow-rumped Warblers; I'm starting to thing some of these birds are following us around.

We made our way around the lake seeing mostly birds we had already seen like Great Blue Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, Double-crested Cormorants, Mallards, Black Phoebe, Rock Pigeons, and Red-shouldered Hawks.

Then I saw this little guy hanging upside down and have identified him as a Bushtit. There was actually a couple of them in the tree but we managed to get a good picture of one of them. For two hours of walking around a lake all we spotted was one lifer; the Bushtit. He's number 179.
We continued through the park and came across this cute squirrel and a gopher.
