Hi Cobirders, Went Monday afternoon from 2:30 to 4PM. Clear, temp
67o, wind steady from the west 10 to 15MPH . No land birds
seen, all hiding too late , too warm, too windy. I did see the the
male Mandarin Duck up on shore with other waterfowl resting out of
the wind. It woke up and turned around ran very perky a short
distance between two Canadas and when a male Mallard got in the way
he pecked it on the back!.
At Prospect Pond there were :
Mandarin Duck 1 fancy male probably same one as all
last summer.
Canada Geese 120+
Mallard 10
Ring-billed Gull 29 many came out on the park lot
Northern Shoveler 4
Gadwall 1
Lesser Scaup 1
Common Goldeneye 4 males and 1 f
Common Coot 5
Tabor Reservoir:
Common Goldeneye 4 males
Double-crested Cormorant 1 in the water and 7 on nests in
tallest tree on island
Great Blue Heron 2 in top of smaller tree on the island.
Both trees had room for many more.
Nice day for exercise!.
