[mou] Smew now on Silver Lake in Rochester

[Chris Fagyal]

The Smew was on Silver Lake when I got there at 12:30, and was still
there when I came back around 1:30 and was there when I left.

Also present was:

1 Greater White-Fronted Goose (It left though)
Several Lesser Scaup, Possibly a Greater Scaup or two in there I believe
1 Green-winged Teal (Was there at 12:30, didn't see it when I came back)
1 Redhead

At Blackdog Lake this morning on my way down there weren't many ducks
except for Common Mergansers.  There were however:

2 Hooded Mergansers (At the outflow)
2 American Black Ducks (In the marshy area past the parking lot just
before the railroad tracks)

Still haven't been able to figure out where that GHO nest is :/

Saturday, at noon the Smew was on Silver Lake in Rochester, having moved
overnight 10 miles SE of its original location in Oronoco. The Oronoco
spot had frozen almost completely over.


Other birds on Silver Lake:
Lesser Scaup
Green-winged Teal
Common Merganser

To my knowledge,the Ross's Goose hasn't been seen since Tuesday or
Wednesday.

East Landfill Reservoir had 10 Swans in the little bit of open water in
the far NE bay, but they were too far away for specific identification.
Also one Bald Eagle was on the ice.
