The Hooded Mergansers are awesome, aren't they? I counted about 154 the other day, most I've ever seen at once. Hundreds of Common Mergansers and Ring-necked Ducks around the dams as well. I've never seen so many of these 3 species before and keep setting off the eBird high count flags with my counts.
If any of our newer birders need them for lifebirds, this is a great and easy spot to find them. Just be careful on that road. People drive like maniacs on there, especially around rush hour.
