Yesterday about noon, Lynda and I took a look at the Compton pond on here on 
Compton Mt. We do this every time we drive by it. This time we could see 
something black and white on the water. We looked with binoculars and  were 
pleasantly surpised to see this pair of Buffleheads (male on the right). This 
species is a very rare sighting for Buchanan County. The pond is not very large 
so I figure this pair was migrating northward and dropped down to feed and rest 
before continuing the journey.

On another note, we had one gobbler and 7 hens in our yard on Saturday. The 
male was gobbling and displaying for the hens. Spring is definitely here.
