Hi everyone,
We have lots of waterfowl moving through down here now. This morning =
at Wells Lake, we had these species present:
Ring-necked Duck
Lesser Scaup
Greater Scaup
Northern Shoveler
Northern Pintail
Hooded Merganser
Common Merganser
Wood Duck
Canvasback
Redhead
Ring-billed Gull
Herring Gull
I also checked Sakatah Lake, and there is a small patch of open water =
there. Surprisingly, there were 6 Trumpeter Swans! One had a green =
neckband.
I stopped at a wetland that I visit often throughout the year to check =
for open water and found none, however, there was a Killdeer walking =
around on an exposed mudflat.
I'm still noticing tree sparrows in very large numbers moving through.
Good birding!
