An even dozen Caspian Terns napping and/or exchanging epithets with each

Between 15 and 20 Caspian Terns are spending time on a stony 'arm' reaching
into the lake about halfway between the access roads.

The F Common Merganser and her eight offspring cruised by this morning. The
merglings are nearly mom's size, and close to her colors as well. Very
regal!
We still have a few Rough-Winged Swallows flitting about, sometimes even
going under the dock. I looked carefully last weekend for any sign of a
Correction: the F Common Merganser has SEVEN 'merglings'.

Not out of the ordinary, but a F Common Merganser and six ducklings just
passed us, heading north. This might be the lone F Merganser who has been
hanging around our area for the past few weeks, occasionally vocalizing.
The young are clearly not long out of the shell. Lovely sight!

I was at RH Treman SP Sunday afternoon watching a northern rough-winged swallow
fly in and out of one of the holes in the stone wall holding up the changing
room plateau, just downstream from the swimming area. Last year there was an
occupied hole high in the wall, just a few feet from the top (
With a rise of a couple of inches in the lake level at this site, the
Northern Rough-Winged Swallow has decided that, after all, she would prefer
to nest under the UPPER section of the dock!

F Red-Breasted Merganser right now with two presumed offspring, warned off
another F of the same . She caught a very substantial fish but did not seem

- First 2015 group of Mallard ducklings this morning - seven.
- On Sunday we noted a family of Canada Geese - eight goslings. This is
definitely a first in our so-far fifteen years on Elm Beach. The number of
offspring is, I believe, accurate, though the parents are so cautious that
they take the
Seventy-four DC Cormorants just flew north offshore of Elm Beach. Perhaps a
dozen more are still cruising around the cove below Thirsty Owl's boat
dock, but I cannot say if the first flight came from that location.
This huge flock of DCC's is completely new. We usually see several random
birds dur
Easily fifty - and quite possibly more - Cormorants have flown north during
the last five minutes, in variable groups and as singles. We've had quite a
few sightings during the month, but this was truly remarkable.
