A belated report from yesterday. You can tell we are into spring as
red-breasted mergansers are now greatly outnumbering common mergansers.
There was a decent mix of waterfowl with 2 long-tailed ducks and a black
scoter. Gull numbers were low and ring-billed gulls were the dominant
species.
There were decent numbers of crows and blackbirds passing by with a few
robins. Of note were two meadowlarks. At the feeders there were about 60
siskins and a redpoll.
