Around 1230 today I found an adult male tufted duck feeding with the mixed flock of redheads, scaup and ringnecks close to shore on the east side of Conesus Lake just south of Stella Maris. Nice head plume and solid black back make him easy to pick out when he surfaces.
Eurasian wigeon still present at Conesus Inlet from east side overlook pond, along with pectoral sandpiper and at least 9 snipe, and a good mix of other ducks. Michael R.
