My mom and I went to the fish hatchery yesterday and saw about 50 Pects as well as Baird’s, Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, and Wilson’s Snipe. There were still plenty of Buffleheads as well as both Green- and Blue-winged Teals. We were also treated to a Bald Eagle trying to steal a fish from an Osprey (Osprey won). In total, we saw 34 species. A great day for birding!
