I made it to Waitsboro yesterday afternoon with about an hour of light
to scan the area. The Western Grebe had lots of company; it seemed to be
resting peacefully amidst a fairly large raft of mostly divers. There
were approx. 1000 birds strewn around the bend. The same species I was
able to ID were still present today, except the Red-breasted Mergansers
were gone and the number of birds was down.

Nov. 26-27
Common Loon at least 20  (also 15 at Fishing Creek, Lake Cumberland)
Pied-billed Grebe
Horned Grebe 70
Western Grebe
Northern Shoveler
Gadwall
American Wigeon
Redhead 35
Ring-necked Duck
Lesser Scaup (represented the bulk of the raft)
Bufflehead
Hooded Merganser
Red-breasted Merganser 30
American Coot 130
250 gulls (mostly Ring-billed and a few Bonaparte's)
