25 Bufflehead

10 Mallards

  1 Wood Duck

Plus 

  1 EARED GREBE

40 Coots

And an Osprey across the highway at the high school football field lights.

 

On Friday, Apr. 18, we visited a private wetland/mudflat and found:

 

40 Green-winged Teal

  4 Mallards

  1 Canada Goose

 5 Greater Yellowlegs

  8 Dunlin

  6 Least Sandpipers

  4 Killdeer

12 Am Pipits

 

Today, Apr. 20, we visited Breidwell Rd, W of Whiteson, and found

  4 calling Sora at Sheldon's marsh

  1 calling V. Rail

  2 Cinnamon Teal

  1 WESTERN KINGBIRD (FOY) on utility wire at the south end, at RR crossing 

And ..
