Another great day. Highlight was 22 species of waterfowl. The cold weather last night definitely sent a lot of birds south. Best bird was a young male harlequin duck. It flew west, circled back and a few minutes later headed west again. There were quite a few scoters and 6 long-tailed ducks. It was a great movement of gulls also. There were a lot more Bonaparte's gulls moving today. I was able to pick out one adult little gull. There was a constant flow of gulls overhead with ring-billed gulls making up most of the birds. I also had three species of grebes including single red-necked and pied-billed. Pied-billed grebe is actually harder for me to get on the open lake than red-necked grebe.
