Another great day.  Highlight was 22 species of waterfowl.  The cold weather
last night definitely sent a lot of birds south.  Best bird was a young male
harlequin duck.  It flew west, circled back and a few minutes later headed
west again.  There were quite a few scoters and 6 long-tailed ducks.



It was a great movement of gulls also.  There were a lot more Bonaparte's
gulls moving today.  I was able to pick out one adult little gull.  There
was a constant flow of gulls overhead with ring-billed gulls making up most
of the birds.  I also had three species of grebes including single
red-necked and pied-billed.  Pied-billed grebe is actually harder for me to
get on the open lake than red-necked grebe.
