My boyfriend and I checked out University Bay on Lake Mendota around noon
today. Waterfowl species seen:
-Mute Swan (adult pair)
-Tundra Swan (3 juveniles and 1 adult)
-Canada Goose (numerous, did not feel comfortable enough to call any of them
Cackling Geese. There were definitely several questionable ones though that
would be better to check out with a spotting scope, which we didn't use today.)
-Mallard (<10)
-Gadwall (50-100)
-Canvasback (<10)
-Redhead (<10)
-Common Goldeneye (<10)
-Bufflehead (<5)
-Common Merganser (30-50)
-American Coot (abundant)
10 species total. There were quite a few gulls there as well, but there weren't
any interesting ones other than 4 late(?) Ring-billed Gulls.
Good birding!
