There was a great movement of birds on the lake this morning with a great movement of over 16,000 red-breasted mergansers. There was a nice variety of ducks and gulls with good numbers of Bonaparte's gulls. Of interest were single ICELAND AND GLAUCOUS GULLS. The only new arrival was common loon. There were actually more songbirds moving yesterday than today due to the east wind. Of interest was a pileated woodpecker that was flying out over the lake heading west.
