10 common loons were just north of the Leatherlips yacht club just off Shawnee Hills. I couldn't find a way to get down to the waters edge in Shawnee Hills but I had nice views of them from Areas C and D off route 257 and Area T off route 745 and Goode Rd. At Area L there was a raft of 11 red-breasted mergansers and flyovers by a few bonapartes gulls. Double crested cormorants numbered in the hundreds from the dam all the way up to the bridge at route 42. Three American coots put in appearances at the dam.
