Waterfowl numbers have been building at the north end of Lake Saltonstall in Branford where it is still open water. There have been large numbers of Hooded Mergansers and Ring-necked Ducks among others and today I had a beautiful male Redhead. The light was fading so I couldn't get a bead on all of the other ducks. Could be something else interesting among them.
The north end of the lake can be accessed from the "hikers" parking lot at the north end of Hosley Avenue in Branford. This is a Regional Water Authority property and a permit is required for access. Info here: https://www.rwater.com/about-us/in-the-community/recreation/
