I went with birding with my parents all day today (Saturday). We drove up the lake. Near King Ferry, we saw a flock of about a hundred Snow Geese flying around, Blues mixed in.
At Montezuma, there were tons of ducks, and many Tundra Swans. Highlights included a close up Ruddy Duck , and Green-Winged Teals at the entrance pool. For the whole trip, we saw 19 species of waterfowl. I also picked out a far away Bald Eagle at Tsache Pool. When we got to Chimney Bluff, I hoped to pick out the Western Grebe. At first, no luck. I got good looks at about five RED-NECKED GREBES. Then we hiked up to the bluffs and back. My dad said to give it one more try.I went back to the shore with my telescope. Around five o clock, I saw the WESTERN GREBE, swimming right next to a Red- Necked Grebe. Quite a sight!
