Terry" Subject: Loch Raven Reservoir MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Today, 12/15, I scanned the reservoir from the #1 Bridge and the White Pine Circuit. The number of ducks in these locations was lower than my numbers during the last 4 weeks. Believe it or not I did not see one American Coot. I did see my first Common Merganser (33) for the fall and my first Long-tailed Duck (1). An adult Bald Eagle surveyed the scene from his perch high in a deciduous tree. I checked for the Western Tanager behind the Skeet and Trap Club house. There were 40+ Bluebirds and over 100 Starlings but no Tanager.
