Today Sterling pond in Fairhaven SP was mostly open with 4 Hooded
Mergansers and 6 Ring-necked Ducks being the highlights. Just like the
pairs of Canada geese at just about every pond, iced over or not, 2
Trumpeter Swans were on a small pond at the corner of Larkin Road and
Cemetery road in Wolcott.
Large numbers of Redhead, Greater Scaup and White-winged Scoters were
spread out from Sodus Point to Eagle Island with lesser numbers of Long
Tailed Ducks, Common Mergansers, Lesser Scaup, Canvasback and Coot. 6
Gadwall were south of the Ridge Road bridge on the SE edge of the bay.
Even though the scoters were all in the bay, the female King Eider was
still close in the outlet opposite the parking lot with the large
concentration of Long-tailed ducks. At 4pm, 4 Common Loons that had been
scattered around the bay swam and dove their way out to the lake for the
night. Mike Tetlow
