Yesterday Dominic Sherony and I put a fair amount of time in to
estimating numbers and percentages of waterfowl on the main pool at
Montezuma. Here is the ebird checklist. Particularly noteworthy for me is
the decrease in Ring-necks and huge increase in Lesser Scaup over the last
couple weeks although Ring-necks do tend to hide among the distant cattails
so I'm sure some were missed.

Also on Wednesday evening at knox-marcellus I was able to get an
accurate count as 54 Sandhill Cranes flew out to the corn fields and the
remaining 18 all put their heads up. So 72. We'll see if more come in on
this front or if that's it.
I also had a flock of about 200 Horned larks with at least 2 longspurs
followed by a flock of about 200 Snow Buntings all flying west over East
road around 2:30 pm. Mike Tetlow
