The easternmost cornfields on Mt Pleasant hosted a flock of 100+ Snow Geese (including 2 blues) around 8:30 Wednesday morning, and they were still there when a friend went by later in the morning.
Stewart Park had two groups of courting Common Mergansers, one group of 8 in the pond at the woods' edge, the other smaller group on the actual lake, close enough to the shore for photographs but not quite close enough to be totally eye-popping views. Interesting to watch their interactions (males chasing each other, displaying to the females with their tails upraised, all the time giving low growling calls). I'll go back tomorrow.....
