It was very slow along the lake this morning. Numbers have been way down since the great movement of gulls and mergansers on Monday. If anything I did see a few more mergansers flying this afternoon. However no flocks of over 50 were observed. the only bird of note this morning was a common loon. My feeders were also very slow this morning with almost no birds being seen. There were a few birds at sunset, but a very slow day. With the stormy weather being predicted tomorrow, the feeders and lake should be much more active.
