Hello, I enjoyed sorting through a nice diversity of birds at Stewart Park this morning. The juvenile RED-THROATED-LOON was much closer today, right behind the red jetty; and a new flotilla of Aythya ducks arrived overnight. A BRANT with the Mallards east of the dock was the first I've seen since October.
