I really spent a lot of time this morning looking for any Red-necked Grebes as they seemingly are showing up everywhere (6 in Lapidum, Susquehanna River -is only a few miles up river). No grebes of any sort were noted today at the VA Facility. A Killdeer was seen other then that land birds were not very exciting. Waterfowl included: 1 Common Loon, 5 Mute Swan, 1000+ Canada Goose, 31 Mallard, 11 A. Black Duck, 6 Gadwall, 8 Canvasback, 8 Ring-necked Duck, 3 Lesser Scaup, 47 Bufflehead, 59 Common Merganser, 7 Hooded Merganser, 39 A. Coot.
