I went to Lake Minsi in the early evening and found a Green-winged Teal, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, a Bufflehead, 3 American Coots, 3 Pied-billed Grebes, 9 Double-crested Cormorants, an Osprey, and a Bald Eagle.
The main reason for the evening start was to check out East Bangor Dam around sunset. As twice before in the last week, I flushed an American Bittern! I was only able to get one poor photo of this one due to the low light and shutter speeds before it dropped down into the cattails.
I also heard a Virginia Rail. A Red-headed Woodpecker was seen checking out the same nest hole where Adam Miller and I saw it on the 3rd. Other notables there included 5 Wood Ducks, a Green-winged Teal, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, 2 Hooded Mergansers, a Hairy Woodpecker, a Northern Flicker, a Northern Rough-winged Swallow, 2 Swamp Sparrows, 4 Brown-headed Cowbirds, a Palm Warbler, and a parade of around 125 Red-winged Blackbirds flying by.
