I ventured out 12/15 to Hoover with my birding partner. It was unbelievably
cold, but worth the trip. We were in search of the red-neck grebe, but were
unsuccessful. However, we did see some lifers for us (this is our first
year). We went to the Walnut St. parking area and the Dam. There were a lot
of birds on the South side of the dam.

Species of interest:

Canada Geese (many)
Mallards
Ring-billed gulls
Fly-by swans (trumpeter's I believe)
Hooded Mergansers
Bufflehead
Ruddy
Black ducks
American Wigeon (I believe)
Mystery duck (any ideas?)
A couple of domestic white ducks
Crows
Blue Jays
Double crested cormorant

I have included pictures at www.flickr.com/photos/54181712@N07/ Since I am
still new, I would appreciate any reviews. Thanks in advance.
