On 28 November, I counted diving ducks on Lake Pepin (Goodhue and Wabasha
counties) and came up with the following: 26,000 Common Mergansers, three Hooded
Mergansers, one Red-breasted Merganser, 45 Common Goldeneye, and two Lesser
Scaup. The real attraction here is not the mergansers, but the gulls which are
attracted to the mergansers; I counted one Bonaparte's Gull, 3600 Ring-billed
Gulls, 251 Herring Gulls, four Thayer's Gulls (three adults, one
second-winter), and three Glaucous Gulls (one adult, one third/fourth-winter, and one
second-winter, an unusual number for this location).
