Spend about an hour late this afternoon.

the following is in addition to the previous post from Robert Jackson

Horned Grebe (20+) 2 in breeding plumage
Pied-billed Grebe (1)
Ring-billed Gull (1 in the water)
Belted Kingfisher (1)
Red-shouldered Hawk (1)
Northern Cardinal
Black-capped Chickadee
Red-bellied Woodpecker

And what appeared to be 1 Eastern Phoebe?  Thought I was seeing things; a
small bird exhibiting "hawking" behavior.  It was in the little inlet on the
north of the marsh so I didn't get a great look.  It would return to a perch
behind some brush, so I only got a look as it would quickly fly out over the
water.

No Scaup and no Ruddy Duck

Hooded Merganser
Wood Duck (20 +)
Horned Grebe (14)
Ring-necked Duck
Lesser Scaup
American Coot
Ruddy Duck
Blue Winged Teal
Mallard
Canada Goose
Great Blue Heron
Red Winged Blackbird

The resident Barnyard Goose was attempting to mate with a Canada Goose,
will be interesting to see if a hybrid is produced.

The Bath Road Heron Rookery was busy with activity.  It looks very full
like last year.
