I'm doing my Waterbird survey up here in North Perry, Lake County and there
has been a great movement of waterfowl.  As of 8:30, over 25,000
red-breasted mergansers.  Surprisingly I have only picked 1 common goldeneye
and 3 lesser scaup out of these merganser flocks.  I have had a female
plumaged KING EIDER and a female plumaged HARELEQUIN DUCK.  Both of these
ducks were flying east, as has all the mergansers.  Also of note was a
RED-NECKED GREBE on the lake.  There have been several thousand herring and
ring-billed gulls passing by also.  Not a single Bonapatrte's as of yet.
