This afternoon, most of the waterfowl at Medusa Marsh (Erie County) were
near the south side of the main impoundment and difficult to see with the glare
and heat shimmer.  An exception was a small group of Redheaded  Ducks and one
Eared Grebe swimming with them.  The ducks swam off  when I stopped my car,
but the grebe stayed close enough to shore that I was  able to watch it feed for
a while.

Also present were American Coot, scaup sp., Mallard, Bufflehead, Mallard,
Gadwall, Bufflehead, Common Merganser, Green-winged Teal, and Northern  Shoveler.

For the last month, I have been keeping an eye on a new Redtail nest  in a
small woodlot across the street from my house.  Yesterday, one of the  birds
spent some time standing in the nest.  Today she began  incubating.
