Well, the cold front that came in Friday late brought in the beginnings of
winter ducks. At Lake Wichita on Saturday, a large number of white pelicans
came in (there has been a small flock for some weeks, but well over 100
now.) Also gadwall and northern shovelers (all of the shovelers and gadwall
I saw--over 100 gadwall and a couple dozen shovelers) were all female and
immature. Also a fairly good size bunch of blue-winged teal and 3 black
terns.
Also saw my first northern harrier adjacent to the Bridwell tank and my
first ring-billed gull (pretty scruffy looking) at Lake Arrowhead.
