Hi Birders It has been cold and crisp but good light for photos.
Two weeks ago today I saw a northern shrike near lake cenaiko . In the last week. I've seen hooded mergansers several times and common mergansers each day, as well as fifty to a hundred goldeneye's every day, a barrows was spotted last week but I didn't see it myself, several trumpeter swans every day, Canada Geese, Two bald eagles on several occasions including one immature. Yesterday we saw a pair of gadwall land in the channel and a red Shouldered Hawk flew over head at about the same time. Today I spotted a red tailed hawk working on a nest in the heron rookery south of the walkway and half a dozen gulls (probably ring billed)on an ice island in the middle of the river. In the last two weeks I've seen lesser and greater scaup as well . I have pictures of most of what I mentioned.
