Meg and I drove up to Oswego to see if we could find the Harlequin Duck
reported there on the Oswego River. We did find the Harlequin and much
much more.
We also found Long-tailed Ducks, Buffelheads, Redheads, Common
Mergansers, Red-breasted Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, White-winged
Scoters, Greater Scaup and Mallards.
The best part other than seeing the Harlequin, which may have been ill,
was the fact that most of these birds would fly up river and then come
down with the current only to fly up again and again. It was like an
endless parade of close up viewing and great photos. For Meg a life
bird, the Harlequin. For me this weekend brought 2 life birds, the
Harlequin and the Red-breasted Merganser.
What beautiful day and a great trip.
