I birded Lake Artemesia and Greenbelt Lake this
afternoon. Highlights include a female Red-Breasted
Merganser at Artemesia and female Gadwall at
Greenbelt Lake.
Also of interest was a Canada Goose at
Artemesia with an all-white body and a faded
black or dark brown neck.
I did not see any Redheads, Goldeneyes, Teals,
Canvasbacks, or Pintails at Greenbelt. I saw the
first four of those there as recently as Saturday.
