I visited Amulet lake Wednesday morning and had a few interesting birds
(for me at least) including large numbers of Hooded Mergansers, several
Bonaparte's Gulls, a Horned Grebe and a friendly feral Muscovy Duck. I'm
still getting to know this urban birding spot but it is turning out to be
more diverse and interesting than I expected. No luck refinding the
Black-crowned Night-Heron from last week, however.
Complete list follows (numbers are likely low, there were distant birds I
could not identify with confidence)
Canada Goose 4 Muscovy Duck (Domestic type) 1 Gadwall 12 Mallard
2 Ring-necked
Duck 1 Lesser Scaup 2 Hooded Merganser 30 Ruddy Duck 8 Pied-billed Grebe
4 Horned Grebe 1 Double-crested Cormorant 6 Great Blue Heron 1 Red-tailed
Hawk 2 American Coot 20 Bonaparte's Gull 6 Ring-billed Gull 12 Belted
Kingfisher 1 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (in parking lot) 1 Yellow-rumped
Warbler (in parking lot) 3
