I spent some time this morning trying to see if any migrating waterfowl
are coming through. I didn't see anything of note at Alum Creek except 6
or so herring gulls mixed in a flock of ring-billed gulls. I was also
surprised to see a red-winged blackbird drinking from the reservoir just
west of the dam.
At Oxbow Recreation Area in the Hoover Nature Preserve there was a small
raft of ruddy ducks and a small flock of Bonaparte's gulls. No sign of
the tundra swans I saw Tuesday, though.
At Hoover Dam there were six American Coots and a pied-billed grebe. A
juvenile red-shouldered hawk was being harrassed by crows at Red Bank
Marina (Maxtown and Sunbury Rds.).
With the water level so low at Hoover, I wonder if the migrants decided it
wasn't worth the stop.
