24 Species at the Wastewater Today


There were at least 24 bird species at the Wastewater this morning including five "Year Birds" (Redhead, Northern Shoveler, Hooded Merganser, Killdeer, Eastern Meadowlark.  Yes, Charlie, I should get out more.)

I snapped this blurry image of a male mergie displaying for a female on the south side of the west lagoon before they flew away (expletive deleted), and a distant photo of 40-50 Snow Geese (at least 9 blue morph) landing in the middle of the west lagoon at ten o'clock.



Other birds included American Tree Sparrow, Bufflehead, Snow Bunting, Redhead, Common Goldeneye, Lesser Scaup, Red-tailed Hawk, Rough-legged Hawk and a pair of Sandhill Cranes.
