Delaware Wildlife Area and Delaware Lake proved to be a very good choice today. The 19 species of duck was highlighted by a splendid male Long-tailed Duck. While there I met fellow Prothonotary Warbler Nestboxer Dick Tuttle. As we were chatting a pair of adult Bald Eagles soared in and stirred up the ducks and geese. Including the common species I observed 56 species.
