Comments: Off and on rainy day. Stopped in to see if i could dig up some of the current rarities, Red-shouldered Hawk, Vermillion Flycatcher, or Black Phoebe — nope. But i did find a lone male Eurasian Widgeon as a consolation prize.
36 species (+1 other taxa)
Cackling Goose 750 I did not pour over the multiple flocks but cursory scans produced only Ridgeway’s. I did not see one Canada Goose all day. But then i wasn’t looking real hard at the geese. This time of year that’s all you would be doing if you took the time to count them.

Tundra Swan 175 Some reports of Trumpeter’s have been coming from here. I took quite a bit of time at Rest Lake carefully scanning the three large collections of Swans. Granted lot’s of them had their heads tucked under their wings, but of those that i did look at, none were Trumpeters. One swan had a Blue neck collar with yellow code: P774.
