I birded here from 11:20-3:40. I started at the Oak St. end and walked along the left side all the way out to the end of the dike. I then exited via the Norroway Rd. exit
Great Blue Heron 1 Green-winged Teal 5 much lower numbers than on 11/14 Ring-necked Duck 2 compare with two hundred on 11/14 Scaup sp. 5 Barrow's Goldeneye 1 ad. male continues for many days now Common Goldeneye 25 Ruddy Duck 62 Hooded Merganser 31 Bufflehead 46 Belted Kingfisher 2 Hairy Woodpecker 1 usual location Northern Flicker 2 Common Raven 1 Cedar Waxwing 5 F.O.F.
P.S. the smaller body of water near Norroway Ave. is a part of Great Pond, and noy Norroway Pond. The reason the road is Norroway Rd. is due to NORROWAY BROOK running behind the houses on the right side. Norroway Brook leads out of Norroway Pond, WHICH IS PART OF the POWERS FARM! It runs out to that small section of Great Pond that I've already mentioned.
