A pair (male and female) of Buffleheads was at the dam at 1430 today. They, a number of H and C mergansers were in the scope, making for interesting comparisons.
They, and a number of other ducks, were in the sheltered boat launching cove north of the dam on the east side. Tom Thomas P.

Their YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER has made it through the winter. Not only that, but there is another YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER that just showed up along with it -- a brightly colored male. Early migrant? Their BLACK-BILLED MAGPIES seem to be building a nest in a spruce tree outside their kitchen window. There was a BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE that flew by the courthouse in town a couple of days ago. I don't know what it was doing in town!!!! Quite a number of ducks, geese and swans showing up.
