Hey folks, The water levels at the West Perth Wetlands are near perfect and there were plenty of waterfowl to be found this evening.
The highlight was a lone GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE in the NE cell (right behind the processing plant). It was swimming around with a large number of Canada Geese. This is only the second GWFG I’ve seen at this site. Where the waterfowl were spotted: First cell behind the parking lot Hooded Mergansers Buffleheads Ring-necked Ducks Mallards Canada Geese Cell behind the processing plant Greater White-fronted Goose Canada Geese Ring-necked Ducks Mallards Cell at the back SE corner Tundra Swans (119) American Wigeons Gadwalls Common Mergansers Northern Shovelers Green-winged Teal Canada Geese Mallards For a couple of pics of the GWFG check out my eBird checklist at the following link: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S44106586 Good birding!
