The compost piles were loaded with gulls at about 10:00 this morning, but
scanning from Stevenson Road I could only find one white-winged gull, and I
didn't get a good enough look to identify which one before it disappeared
from view.
We checked Ladoga Park Rd in Lansing twice, once at about 10:45 and again a
little after noon. The first time, we saw several HORNED GREBES,
LONG-TAILED DUCKS, BUFFLEHEAD, WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, AMERICAN COOT, BLACK
DUCKS, and a large group of Mallards on a sandbar extending out from the
marina to the right. After spending some time at Myers Park and bumping
into Tom Schulenberg, who had just seen two RED-NECKED GREBES at Ladoga, we
returned and scanned again. This time I found one Red-necked Grebe and no
other grebes. I scanned through the Mallards again and finally found the
NORTHERN PINTAIL about halfway down the line of Mallards.
At Myers there were lots of Mallards as well as some RING-NECKED DUCKS,
COMMON GOLDENEYE, a REDHEAD, and the usual gulls. Walking out to the
lighthouse, we flushed a SNOW BUNTING from among the rocks.
