New Waterfowl Arrived Today!
This morning I spotted a huge group of new ducks on the lake, possibly sixty or seventy, but they are too far away for positive identification. A group of eight landed in our cove and they are definitely Surf Scoters. I’m guessing some of the others are White Winged Scoters and a few look like Scaups. A fishing boat showed up and scared most of the ducks away. I hope they return and land in my cove so that I can identify all of the species. I enjoy watching the waterfowl migrate through this area.
