Also present were 22 American Coots, a Pied-billed Grebe, 8 Ring-necked Ducks, and of course the usual Mallards and Canada Geese. Only two Gulls are left, both Ring-bills. Two pairs of BUFFLEHEADS were at the deep end of the lake between the center and the north side of the lake. We didn't see any Mergansers at all, and John's Wood Ducks seem to be gone as well.
