Larry Jeanblanc, Julie Karlson, and I were checking out the lake at Buck Creek State Park this morning after the fog lifted. There were a few ducks including Bufflehead, Ruddy Ducks, Redheads, Lesser Scaup, Hooded Mergansers, Mallards, and American Black Ducks on the lake. Bonaparte's Gulls were flying over the lake. There were several Pied-billed and Horned Grebes and we counted about 70 Common Loons. We were looking from the overlook which is below the Corps of Engineers visitor center on the west side of the lake. Along the lakeshore we found a flock of goldfinches and a few Pine Siskins. Please note that I have a new email address.
