With the traditional flooded field area of Green Pond now flooded again, it's attracting ducks and gulls and a bunch of Killdeer, so I've been checking that spot a little more regularly now. This afternoon, it held
7 Snow Geese, 3 Wood Ducks, 62 Mallards, 11 American Black Ducks, 2 Northern Pintails, 5 Green-winged Teal, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, 3 Hooded Mergansers, 11 Killdeer, about 50 Ring-billed Gulls, 35 American Robins, 7 Red-winged Blackbirds, and 11 Brown-headed Cowbirds. Again today, a Bald Eagle flew over and flushed everything out of the flooded area.
At the Nazareth Quarry, I found a Double-crested Cormorant in addition to 300 Snow Geese, 9 Northern Shovelers, 10 Gadwall, 5 American Black Ducks, 4 Greater Scaup, 16 Buffleheads, one Red-breasted and 9 Common Mergansers, around 30 Ruddy Ducks, 9 American Coots, 3 Pied-billed Grebes, and a Horned Grebe.
