Beaver Lake



This afternoon we birded a couple hours, some in the sanctuary but mostly
along the lake  outside the sanctuary.  The following are the birds of
interest we saw:

Hooded Merganser - l immature male
Green-winged Teal - l female
Gadwall 

These were all in the lake near shore and were between the large fallen
tree that extends into the lake and the blue duck nest box that is not
far from the sanctuary boardwalk.  This was around 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. 
Very good views of both the teal and the merganser as they climbed up on
something to preen.
