Went out to Rafferty Dam this afternoon. Lots of Franklin's Gulls flying and on the water.
A Say's Phoebe
A resting Common Nighthawk (my first of the year for this area)
Other birds:
Two young male Ring-necked Pheasants
Young Common Loon
Western Grebes, mostly young ones
Great Blue Heron
Double-creasted Cormorant, drying its wings
Ring-billed Gulls
American Coots - lots of these around
Red-tailed Hawks
Merlin

We don't Ring-necked Pheasants in our park anymore. Hope you can post a pic sometime.
