Stopped at Laurel Hill at lunchtime yesterday and, boy, what a day! In a quick loop around due to being short on time I saw a bald eagle, 2 peregrines, horned larks, 75 Canada Geese, Gadwall, Mallards, Northern Pintails, Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers, Green-winged Teal, Canvasback and a Long-tailed Duck.

Also saw a Great Blue Heron, Great  Black-backed Gull, the usual starlings, cardinals and these sparrows. If I had had more time I’m sure I would have been able to up the species count. There was so much activity on the water it was wonderful.   (Thanks, Jill!)
