3:30pm 3/17/09 Thanks to a heads up from Erik Collins, I checked the flooded fields 0.5 mi. east of Hi 52 on the north side of 145th St. and found 11 species of waterfowl with NO diving ducks.
Species inlcuded: Ross's Goose - 1 classic white-phase adult (same size as smallest Cackling Goose and 2/3 size GWFG) Greater White-fronted Goose - minimum of 500 with many more feeding in fields Cackling Goose - no count, but more than 100 Tundra Swan - 2 Seven dabbler species included an FOY male Wood Duck.
