Greetings All,
Ted F will likely post a more complete report. The highlights of the annual trip into Valmont Res today (pls forgive my spelling of said event) were RED-NECKED GREBE: Likely adult, basic plumage. Mostly at e. end of Valmont Res itself TUNDRA SWAN: On Hillcrest Res, and thus not the spot the Trumpeter Swan was at, but rather at the spot the Tundra favored last winter. Several of us who viewed a swan on Valmont earlier this winter feel that this swan is a different bird. It looks smaller, the feather pattern on culmen seems different, and earlier views showed a swan with red on the gape, which this Tundra lacked. Note that Ted Floyd had a Tundra and a Trump briefly on L Waneka just a couple weeks ago. THAYER'S GULL: 5, 3 juvs and 2 adults. Black-backed and white-winged gulls of any type were notable for their absence.
