The Tyler Audubon Society and NETFO had a field trip to Lake O' the Pines, visiting Lakeside Park, Tejas Point, Pop's Landing (all in Marion county) and Cedar Spring Park and the Hwy 155 boatramp (both in Upshur county). It was initially cool and cloudy, then sunny and very pleasant. A Western Grebe was seen near the dam at Lakeside Park. Duck numbers on the lake were small, but we tallied 13 expected species. Approximately 25 Common Loons were observed, mostly at Lakeside Park, but we could not turn any of them into Pacific or Red-throated Loons. Thanks to Mike Dillon for taking us around.
