Tweets - It was in the 50's with no wind, and we had no precipitation for over two hours of the survey, before it started to mizzle. At 10:15, it started to rain. It was pretty birdy until around 10:00, and then we found some water birds later.
Highlights: Seven species of duck, with AMERICAN WIGEON, RING-NECKED DUCK, and HOODED MERGANSER at the Rowing Club pond Wilson's Snipe - Great looks at ~8 below the weir Good flock of gulls, though only the most expected four species Pileated Woodpecker - A pair flew north up the Dog Meadow silently Merlin - Quick flyby a little downstream of the weir Western Meadowlark - ~15 on grass/gravel parking area south of the Climbing Rock *again*
A late scan of the lake turned up two RUDDY DUCKS, First of Year (FOY), and two HORNED GREBE, First of Fall (FOF).
Misses today included Green-winged Teal, Cooper's Hawk, Northern Shrike, Steller's Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Purple Finch, and Pine Siskin.
For the day, 56 species. Adding Ruddy Duck, we're at 134 species for the survey in 2025.
