Horned Grebe
On Thursday, March 20, Mitch Brownstein and I did an informal waterfowl census of sorts between Young’s Point (South Beach Road) and Lock 19. We counted 3 Red-necked Grebe (2 in Lakefield), 1 Horned Grebe (Lakefield), 120 Common Goldeneye, 4 Bufflehead (Lakefield), 6 Ring-necked Duck, 20 Common Merganser, 19 Red-breasted Merganser, 160 Mallard, 4 Long-tailed Duck (Lock 19), 1 Green-winged Teal (Little Lake Cemetery),1 Greater Scaup (female, just above the footbridge at Trent University) and 140 Canada Geese. The White-winged Scoter was not present at Lock 19.
