Red Shouldered Hawks were calling on both sides of the river. Finally, an adult soared overhead and was joined by 2 immatures. There was a Tundra Swan and 4 Pintails on the river. We enjoyed several Yellow-B Sapsuckers and numerous Brown Creepers. Late afternoon I visited Black Hill Park and waded through a stream (Ten Mile Creek?) to an isolated finger of the lake. It was a delightful walk with the sun setting. Got nice close looks at 10 Hooded Mergansers, 11 Red-B Mergansers, Ring-Necked Ducks, American Wigeons, Black Ducks, Ruddy Ducks, Buffleheads and one Goldeneye. An adult Bald Eagle dove at the ducks and landed on a tree nearby. I briefly scanned the main section of the Lake after sunset -- Additional Red-B Mergansers and Buffleheads; and a pair of Hooded Mergansers. Happy Birding, Dan Eberly --UNS_gsauns2_2815754104--
