W. Lake Pond & Ebenezer Pt.



Went out to visit West Lake Pond and Ebenezer Point today (Saturday)
morning. Both were very interesting.

West Lake Pond:

75 Ring-necked Duck
20 Canvasback
15 American Wigeon
2 Bufflehead

The shadows in the back of the pond hid lots of ducks, but many of them were
facing me head-on so colors and shape were not possible to identify.

Ebenezer Point:

60 Ring-billed Gull (all in one colony on a bank)
25 Bonaparte's Gull
15 Horned Grebe
8 Merganser sp. (Either Common or Red-breasted, which one would be more
likely? Bill color wrong for Hooded. Light underparts
                           suggest Common?)
5 American Wigeon
2 Pied-billed Grebe

Surprised that there were no Loons or more Diving Ducks to be seen.

Overall a pretty nice day.
