At Home Lake, east of Monte Vista, a Bald Eagle (my first sighting for this season) made a pass over the hundreds of geese and ducks that were on the water, resulting in nothing but a brief lift off. Unusual numbers of Buffllehead (100-200), Northern Shoveler.,American Wigeon, etc. , and geese. I have been watching for scoters for a few weeks, in hopes of a repeat of White-winged Scoters, as there was a pair a couple of years in succession at Home Lake in November, but no luck so far in 2009. Lots of Sandhill Cranes remain on MVNWR. The auto tour road is now open with its new improvements. Virginia Simmons, Del Norte
