Marydale/Catholic Center
(4) Northern Shovelers (2 male, 2 female)
(2) Ring-necked Ducks (1 male, 1 female)
Pair of Cooper¹s Hawks

Camp Ernst Lake
(2) Red-breasted Mergansers (male)
Pied-billed Grebe

The Red-breasted Mergansers were absolutely stunning.  The light
was horrible but they still showed magnificent colors.

There were tree swallows at Camp Ernst Lake on Wednesday but that¹s
the only time that I¹ve seen them this year.

This is the 3rd year that I¹ve seen a pair of Cooper¹s Hawks together this
time of year at Marydale.  I assume that they are building a nest as one of
them was breaking off branches.
