We had a raft of a similar mix off our house on Eastlake Rd. most of the
afternoon.

I also saw these numerous ducks walking the railroad track along Lansing 
Station Rd this morning between 11-12noon.
Donna, Thanks for the naming and enumerating.

Breasted Mergansers.
5-600 Canada Geese were in attendance, along with a Herring Gull.

Pretty easy birding: I just stood on the cliff next to a large tree (for 
camouflage) and enjoyed and counted, then trotted down the RR track as the 
ducks moved away and other ducks joined them.

Feeder birds included 23 MO Do, and the single Starling who was here through 
the really cold days, has now shown up with 30 of his best friends.

A Lesser Black Backed Gull flew over and an hour ago I was lucky to spot from 
the kitchen a mature BALD EAGLE sitting in my dying White Oak tree on the cliff 
overlooking the lake!
Maybe that is why the returning raft of Redheads, et al., left again in a big 
hurry.

Neighbors have reported several sightings of both a mature B Eagle lately, and 
an immature one.
