My dad and I went birding at Lake Byllesby on Thursday and saw a variety of
ducks and small birds.
We spotted an American Kestrel on the way to the lake.
In the fields leading to the parking lot at Lake Byllesby we spotted:
Vesper Sparrows
Eastern Bluebirds
Horned Larks
An immature Bald Eagle was on a log near the lakes shore and Red-Breasted
Mergansers swam past us later on.
We saw Tundra Swans and many pelicans on the other side of the lake so we
headed over there to get a better look. Ended up seeing in the waters:
Pelicans
Northern Pintails
Many Green-Winged Teals
Buffleheads (Only two)
Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs were out along with many other Sandpipers but
the lighting was terrible so we couldn't ID them.
We then went up Vasa road and didn't see much of anything, Phoebes were out
and about nine Turkey Vultures were soaring above us. That's all for that day!
