It was a real treat to hear the Tundra Swans calling, and see many Gadwall in courtship groups. The approximate totals were: 170 Gadwall 160 Northern Pintail 150 Tundra Swan 20 American Wigeon 1000 Canada Geese 120 Northern Shoveler 10 American Black Duck 60 Lesser Scaup 250 Mallard 80 Bufflehead 400 Ring-necked Ducks 4 Redhead 260 Canvasback 250 Ruddy Duck 180 American Coot 3 Pied-billed Grebe 7 Great-blue Heron numerous Ring-billed Gull 1 Great Black-backed gull Sorry, no Eurasian Wigeon, but I'll keep looking- Gwen Brewer wigeons@hotmail.com ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
