I checked the Neenah/Menasha areas this afternoon. Easily 2000+
Herring Gulls were present in the combined areas. Unfortunately the
only other gulls were 15 Glaucous (all ages) and 3 Great Black-backed
(2 ads and 1 3rd yr).
Perhaps more interesting is that some migrant ducks are beginning to
appear at these sites. While the numbers are only a few to several,
it is nice to see that the migration is beginning up here. While
Canvasback, Ring-necked Duck and Lesser Scaup wintered (2, 1 and
about 15 respectively), there are now 4, 4 and 25 respectively. Also
present were the wintering Ruddy Ducks (12), Greater Scaup (1) and
Coots (10) plus Trumpeter Swans and Cormorants. In addition there
are now 3 Gadwalls when we had none during January. (2 have been
present earlier this month.)
