great waterfowl



Though rainy today, the waterfowl had no qualms.

Price Lake:

6 pied-billed grebes
5 common loons (good, close look)
5 bufflehead (3hens, 2 drakes)
one pair canada geese
one pair hooded merganser (unusually close look at these beauties)
one swamp sparrow
lotsa wood duck
one great blue heron
AMROs, NOCAs, SCJUs and BEKIs as usual

Bass Lake:

5 red-breasted mergansers
11 lesser scaup
6 ring-necked ducks
one pied-billed grebe
4 blue-winged teal
one pair canada geese
brown creepers singing
SOSP, AMRO, BEKI, and some warbler sounding shy in the rain.  Sounded like a 
hooded on downers.  But  it could have just as well been a migrating 
magnolia.  But we arent calling the first warbler for the high elevation 
until its a sure thing.  If anyone would like to go and check it out now 
that the rain has ceased, it was singing from behind the blue 
porta-rest-station.

Happy birding.
YAY!
Jason and Lesley
