Total Duck count of 206,000 today 11/10/04. This is higher than the
long-term average of 185,000 for this time of year. 25% of birds seen
were from the tour loop. Only 7% were in the hunt units. Highest Northern
Harrier count for this time of year. Swans continue to use Unit 1 in high
numbers. This is the unit on the north side of the tour loop. They are at
a distance from the road so best observation is with a spotting scope.
Other species observed from the tour loop include Canada Goose, Mallard,
Shoveler, Wigeon, Coot, Clark's Grebe, Eared Grebe, Gadwall, Common and
Red-breasted Merganser, Bufflhead, Ruddy Duck, Northern Harrier, possibly
Bald Eagle (deep in Unit 1), Great Blue Heron, Long-billed Curlew, RB and
CA Gulls.
