Hi everyone, The conditions are really nice on the lake today with calm water, little wind, and warm sun to view a number of different species of ducks. From Hog Hole a large Aythya raft is viewable (bring your scope), with many hundred redhead, greater and lesser scaup, ring-necked ducks, common and hooded mergansers, coots, mallards, black duck, bufflehead, two pintail drakes, and one canvasback. There's also a continuing blue-headed vireo that was quite out in the open in the boxelders on the west edge of the Hog Hole woods seen along the path ( 42.6098, -76.5187). All in all, it makes for rather nice birding.
