Heard our foy COMMON LOON calling about 8:15 this morning. Also of note this morning (while snowing) was a male PURPLE FINCH on thistle feeder.
Other Red Rock Lake arrivals over the last ten days are RING-NECKED DUCKS, LESSER SCAUP, HOODED MERGANSERS, WOOD DUCKS, BUFFLEHEAD AND PIED-BILLED GREBES. NOTE: The Hooded Mergs and Wood Ducks have been entering and fighting over our two duck boxes since shoreline ice started breaking-up on the 23rd. Boxes are pole-mounted in shallow water.
