Hi all,
Sorry I was too rushed to post Sunday afternoon's results at Picnic
Point on Sunday evening. Now on the way to Florida. I just thought a
more complete list might be helpful to anyone thinking about going.
The Barrow's Goldeneye was of course there, swimming with a few dozen
Common Goldeneyes near the shore in the sunshine (yum!), but we had to
walk almost to the tip of the point to see them. At least 40-50 Tundra
Swans were in the area, some calling occasionally. At least 50 Common
Mergansers, a few Canvasbacks, a few Redheads, one female (or immature)
Ruddy Duck, and the usual suspects (AKA Mallards, Canada Geese, coots)
were present.
On shore, a crabapple near the big parking lot held a Robin and 9 Cedar
Waxwings.
Wish we had known about the Screech Owl.
Good birding,
Libby Zimmerman
