Lisa and I visited the same area on Saturday and saw pretty much what you
saw, Dan.  We did not see either Common Loon, or Redhead.  We did identify
more than at least a dozen Lesser Scaup, and a male Red-breasted Merganser
was near the male Hooded Merganser.  Three Killdeer flew over us.  We did
not located the Red-necked Grebe reported the previous weekend.

Best,
