North East town park had many Common Mergs, 6 Red-breasted Mergs, Hooded Merg flyby, 3 Northern Shovelers and 20 Scaup sp., all with heads tucked in. Out to Turkey Point for a hike and look over the water- again, many Common Mergs, 75 Lesser Scaup, 3 Goldeneye ( a pair observed mating ) 30 Bufflehead and 8 ** BRANT** flyby. We were standing below the point on the North East River side, the Brant were flying towards the Elk River. It seems this latter species is becoming more common for us??
