NOV 4 waterfowl watching at Lake Flavia…
Numbers & species of waterfowl were greater than my last visit. Weather couldn’t have been better.. high temp 70F with light winds and bright sunshine all day. Wispy white clouds in a blue sky.
Only deterent was a light haze that obscured ‘scoping and heat jigglies at the higher magnifications.
Arriving at Lake Flavia
WATERFOWL SEEN:
Canada Geese, hundreds of Common mergansers, Hooded mergansers, Bufflehead ducks, Ring-necked ducks, Pied-billed Grebes, Greater Scaup, Ring-billed Gulls
Oddly enough, no raptors seen today
OFF the WATER:
Driving across the gravel parking lot, near spots where vegetation was visible, I pulled over after noticing birds foraging. Turned out to be 4 Snow Buntings in winter plumage
