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.
