A real treat was a group of 24 Hooded Mergansers often diving in unison. They were quite successful in catching a succession of small fish. Even mix of males & females--the largest group of this species I've ever seen. Also: 4 female Buffleheads, 15 or so Ruddies, a couple Pied-billed Grebes. Killdeer, Mute Swans, mallards, Ring-billed Gulls, & Great Blue Herons as well.
