Open water has increased dramatically since Sunday when I counted 12
Common Loons. Four days of glorious warm weather has banished the
last crusty drifts of Winter. The mosses are blooming and the ants
have come back to the top of the hill.
On Wednesday evening I scoped the Lake for 1/2 an hour and counted:
17 Common Loon
1 Pied-billed Grebe
4 Red-necked Grebe
2 Horned Grebe
2 Eared Grebe
8 Red-breasted Merganser
2 Hooded Merganser
6 Northern Shoveler
2 Common Goldeneye
4 Mallard
Canada Geese
With Doug Johnson's help in sorting
7 Greater Scaup
4 Lesser Scaup
1 Bald Eagle
Hundreds of gulls, I can't do gulls, ...please, don't make me do gulls.
O.K., There were lots of Ring-billed Gulls.
