Hi Folks,

Five Buffleheads (four males & one female plumaged) at Lake Elkhorn were the
first I've seen there this season.  Waterbirds are increasing in number on
this small lake.  Today's tally (Thur., 16 Nov):

Pied-billed Grebe--6
Canada Goose--6
Mallard--25
Ring-necked Duck--22
Bufflehead--5
Ruddy Duck--3
Am. Coot--4

Other waterbirds there included two trumplings, two domestic geese, and lots
of muts.

Yesterday I was able to locate the GWF Goose at Centennial Lake.  Also
present in the large Canada Goose flock was a CanadaXdomestic hybrid, larger
than the Canadas, with a lot of white on the face and throat.  I missed the
small-race Canada.
