I was there yesterday, 2017-11-1. There were much fewer ducks. I met two women who had a scope and hadn't seen much along the south shore so we focused on the North Shore. Near the damn I saw a Merlin, Prairie Falcon, Eastern Bluebird, Mountain Bluebird along with a Red-breasted Merganser, Horned Grebe some Western Grebes and various Ring-billed Gulls. A really nice day, just no Scoters
