[cayugabirds-l] Mill Pond, Union Springs 1:30 p.m.

2014-03-15 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Tucked hard against Mill Pond west shore, sheltered from fierce winds; 

5 prs. wood ducks, 4 male hooded megansers, 1 female red-breasted merganser

Other: redheads, buffles, mallards, ring-billed ducks, 1 Canada, (?) scaup, 
gadwall, coot, 2 horned grebes (still!!) No wigeon.

A rustic-looking gazebo has recently been put between the sidewalk  the pond!! 
Unfortunately, it appears that it will have not sheltering roof. Maybe, in due 
time. Hope so. 

No snows seen here yet. Much snow has melted leaving LOTS of bare ground  mud. 
43 deg.. Strong wind from north. Gas is $3.61.9.

Fritzie, 
We we there about an hour ago and there were two American Wigeons right up 
close to the road - close enough for pictures   We did see one of your horned 
grebes almost on the far shore - first grebe of the drain for us.
