The Observatory has been approved for a USFWS grant supporting new seasons
of offshore aircraft Lake Michigan waterfowl and waterbird surveys; flights
started this past Monday. Good numbers of Long-tailed Ducks and Common
Goldeneyes were found from 1-10 miles offshore from Door, Kewaunee, and
northern Manitowoc counties, along with smaller numbers of Bufflehead, with
Gr. Scaup found nearer the shoreline. As an example, on this first day of
surveys two flocks of LTDUs totalling >1600 individuals were found, too far
offshore to be seen from land (thus demonstrating part of the rationale for
these deepwater aircraft surveys).
