We went to the Darby Lakes in the late morning and found lots of geese and diving ducks. Two ad. Greater White fronted Geese were and among Canada's, I digiscoped them with poor results, but see my ebiirds report for photos. One adult Snow Goose and at least two Cackling Geese were present; a couple of other smaller geese were seen but I wasn't abkle to rule "Lesser" out. Dozens of Redheads were actively feeding in the only open water, with 9 positive Greater and more Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked Ducks, among others. A dark morph Rough legged Hawk and a Short eared Owl were seen over the open fields/cedars on the entrance road. Landbirds were scarce, but while walking the woods and field edge along the lake shore we began to hear Red-crossbills, and saw 9 (at least two males) crossing in front of us heading off over the open country. See full report on ebirds for more info.
