When I first saw him, he was hanging out by himself and diving frequently. When I left about 12:00 he was swimming along with a pair of Canada's and their goslings. Also at the 'goons were RedHead, Black, RingNecked, Gadwall, Ruddy also Dunlin, Spotted, BOBOLINK and a poor REDTAIL being mobbed by 5 crows and as many grackles.... Exeter lagoons are a mile and a quarter to the west of the intersection of highways 4 and 83 approximately 30 miles north of London in Exeter. Turn south at the cemetary which is Airport Line road and drive to the second gate on the left. Park without blocking the entrance and walk in. Just a reminder that you are required to possess and display on your dashboard an annual permit that is obtained at the town office during business hours at no cost. Town office is at the intersection of Main St and Sanders St. Good Birding.. Rick Thornton
