Subject: Erie County waterbird count for November 6, 2025
Location: Walnut Creek access

Date: November 6, 2025

Time: 0705 to 0935 AM

Weather: Partly cloudy, wind WNWto 20 mph, waves 4’ temp. 47 F.

Comments:   I was not able to access my count site onPresque Isle S.P. this morning since the strong wind last night took out the powerlines at the lighthouse.  It isunfortunate, since I think I would have had a banner day there.  However, despite most of the ducks being toofar offshore to ID, I did have a decent movement of distant scaup, Red-breastedMerganser and a record-breaking day for Dunlin. One flock of Dunlin I estimated to contain about 250 birds!  All birds were moving west.
