Folks:
Ducks on Lake Julian this winter have been less then spectacular.
However, this AM I braved 40+ knot winds and checked the lake hoping some
ducks may have been forced down due to the high winds. Yes, my hunch proved
to be correct. I observed the following ducks:Redheads (60-75), Bufflehead
(3), Lesser Scaup (65), a few Greater Scaup yesterday, Northern Shovelers
(4), and Red-breased Mergansers (8). Along the dam there were 7 Turkeys.
Common Loons and Horned Grebes should be arriving in the very near future.
