Hi all,
Birding along the Fox River in downtown Waukesha today produced a pair of
adult Hooded Mergansers, males. They briefly gave nice views when hanging
out with Mallards, but then at times moved short distances up and down the
river by themselves. There were still ~50 Common Goldeneye on the river
along with some Scaup, pair of Bufflehead and 100+ Mallards. A short
birding run along the lakefront in Milwaukee from Bayview to Bradford Beach
produced fewer birds than previous days, nothing to note other than
previously reported birds. It seemed like the many large rafts of winter
ducks had moved north. I saw many large flocks of ducks flying north over
the water yesterday.
A couple images of the Hooded Mergansers from today at the link below if
you care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
