As of 7:30 PM Monday (yesterday) the 6 Long-tailed Ducks were still present off the Baldridge Boat Launch. Darlene Sillick and I had made a quick stop there to check for Common Loons. The Long-tailed Ducks were a bonus find. There were about 25 to 30 loons in a large bunch, many in breeding plumage. Other species observed included
Lesser Scaup, Red-breasted Mergansers, Ruddy Ducks, Horned Grebes and Tree Swallows.

From Oxbow Road we observed the nesting Bald Eagles make an incubation exchange at the nest.
