[mou] Smew

[Bruce Baer]

I saw the Smew at 10:30 this morning under the bridge.  At the time it was
standing on the ice preening.  No leg bands could be seen.

 

It was a good day for raptors:

American Kestrel (4)

Bald Eagle

Golden Eagle (possible)

Sharp-shined Hawk (2)

Cooper's Hawk (2)

Northern Goshawk (possible)

Red-tailed Hawk

Red-shouldered Hawk

 

The Red-shouldered Hawk was seen sitting above the bridge where the Smew
was.

No large numbers of Horned Lark yet.
