Hi all,
I birded a number of spots today, but the best bird was easily a male
BARROW'S GOLDENEYE on University Bay. The bird was very close to
shore--straight out from the boat launch and right along the edge of the
ice. I believe this may be the first Dane County record for this species.
Other Highlights:
University Bay
Good waterfowl diversity--L. Scaup, Canvasback, Ring-necked Duck,
Redhead, Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck, C. Goldeneye & Merganser, Mallard,
Shoveler, etc.
Olin-Turville Boat Launch
B2 Thayer's Gull-- cool looking bird!
adult basic Bonaparte's Gull
2 Common Loons
Pied-billed Grebe
Belted Kingfisher
Hooded Mergansers
Many C. Mergansers
Tenney Park--Lake Mendota:
150 Tundra Swans
Other common waterfowl
My backyard over the last two days:
2 Fox Sparrows
about 10 White-throated Sparrows
1 Grackle
8 Red-winged Blackbirds

P.S. I am off to the Dane Co. Landfill soon to look for the Great
Black-backed Gull. I would love some company if anyone would like to
join me!
