Lake Junaluska on a cold, blustery, Sun. morn with the occasional flurry:
Greater yellowlegs (1) Least sandpiper (1)
Killdeer (numerous) Great blue heron (1)
Horned grebe (1/2 doz. 1 close to Pied-billed grebe (12+-)
breeding plumage)
Bonaparte's gull (1) Ring-billed gull (1/2 doz.)
Hooded mergansers (20-40) Ring-necked duck (75 +)
Redhead (12+-) Blue-winged teal (10+-)
Lesser scaup (10+-) American wigeon (few)
Bufflehead (2) Tree swallow (numerous)
Sharp-shinned (1)
Bob Olthoff and I made a quick survey of the lake this morning (3/12/00).
As you can tell, we didn't do a precise count and we didn't pay much
attention to passerines.
Shorebird migration at Junaluska is iffy. The annual drawdown has to
coincide with migration. It looks like we might get a shot at some migrants
this year.
