I spent some time this morning trying to see if any migrating waterfowl are coming through. I didn't see anything of note at Alum Creek except 6 or so herring gulls mixed in a flock of ring-billed gulls. I was also surprised to see a red-winged blackbird drinking from the reservoir just west of the dam. At Oxbow Recreation Area in the Hoover Nature Preserve there was a small raft of ruddy ducks and a small flock of Bonaparte's gulls. No sign of the tundra swans I saw Tuesday, though. At Hoover Dam there were six American Coots and a pied-billed grebe. A juvenile red-shouldered hawk was being harrassed by crows at Red Bank Marina (Maxtown and Sunbury Rds.). With the water level so low at Hoover, I wonder if the migrants decided it wasn't worth the stop.
