Common Loon - 1
Horned Grebe - 20
Double-cr. Cormorant - 65
Tundra Swan - 3 (were high overhead heading east)
Mallard - 20
Black Duck - 14
Gadwall - 12
Northern Shoveler - 3
Green-winged Teal - 8
American Wigeon - 18
Ring-necked Duck - 48
Lesser Scaup - 175
Greater Scaup - 3
Canvasback -1
Redhead - 21
Common Goldeneye - 1

The black-backed gulls were seen from the Olive Grove peninsula which is just 
downstream from Cheek Rd.
