Dave Nicosia and I led the day trip around the lake. Since Dave's and my agenda were about the same, we decided to combine our trip. These are the highlights of the trip: Ladoga Park - 3 Common Loons, 2 Red-necked Grebes, a couple Coots, Ring-necked Ducks, Common Merganzer. Myers Point - We saw a raft of waterfowl south of the point, so we walked to the lighthouse. The raft consisted of 2 White-winged Scoters, many Long-tailed Ducks, some Horned Grebes in breeding plumage, Ring-necked Ducks, and Wood Ducks. Harris Park area on Lake Street - All Aythya species (except for Ring-necked Ducks), Ruddy Ducks, 2 Western Grebes, Horned Grebe in breeding plumage. Visitors Center - Blue and Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, Gadwall, American Wigeon, 2 Greater Yellowlegs. Martens Tract - Pied-billed Grebe, Sora, Virginia Rail, possible American Bittern. Dave saw a Eurasian Wigeon, but no one else got on it. East Road - Add ons were Double-crested Cormorants, 2 Snow Geese. We ran out of time, so we headed home. While there, we did see numerous Osprey nests and Osprey with fish, the Mudlock Eaglets, 2 male Northern Harriers in different locations, Red-tailed Hawks, and Turkey Vultures. Best, Ann ps If anyone remembers any other important sightings, please respond.
