Greetings all,
I did a quick check of Presqu'ile Bay this morning from the Calf
Pasture Viewing deck and saw lots of waterfowl. The highlight was a
fly-over Cackling Goose in with one of the many Canada flocks passing
over this morning. Other spp. present included all three swans -
singles of Tundra and Trumpeter -, most expected puddle ducks except
Bw Teal and Shoveler, tons of diving ducks including dozens of Lesser
Scaup now mixed with the thousands of Greater's, Pb grebes (6), Coots
(12), 4 G B Heron standing on the edge of the ice, 1 2nd winter
Iceland Gull. The next few days should be quite good.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
