Hi Folks,

The Croom Station pond had about 20 Gadwall today
- most I've ever seen there.  Also had 3 Pintail,
which I've only seen there about 6-8 times.  Then
Mallards, Green-winged Teal, and one Wigeon.

Merkle had a hand full of Meadowlarks, at least
100 Killdeer; also Mallards, Wigeon, Gadwall,
Teal.  

The number of White-crowned Sparrows there
continues to be lower than I've seen in the past.
 High count of imatures today was just 4, and I
only saw one adult all day, for a grand total of
5 birds.  I really think the HOSP's are making
the feeders less desirable (for the sparrows, not
for me!)

The large raft of Scaup continue behind Chaney's.

Have a good day.
Charlie Muise
