The Goldeneye, which I had previously mistakenly reported as a male, was clearly in female plumage and present off the concession stand about 12:45. The Pintail pair were again along the south shore of the 3rd island counting from the concession stand. They move around a lot, I did not see the Pintails nor the Goldeneye on my return leg. Also present were three Hooded Mergansers off the boat ramp, and 13 Ring-necked Ducks between the third and fourth islands. A Belted Kingfisher was heard, and a soaring Red-shouldered Hawk was present near the boat ramp.
