Brenda and Bill Thexton and I went out for about 2 and a half hours this afternoon. It was just too lovely to stay inside. Port Williams Sewage Ponds: 5 Barrow's Goldeneyes, 2 males in summer plumage, one female with its yellow bill, one bird which was either a molting male (into winter plumage) or an immature male, and one immature female with little yellow on its bill. They are quite skitterish and do not stay on the pond long but take off and go to the river, so you need to be as quiet and alert as possible, and if travelling in a group, go up the slope together, or some of you are apt to miss them. Canard Poultry Pond: Lots and lots of Mallards, Blacks, and Green winged Teal and one male Pintail. Saxon Street Pond: one immature Eagle sitting in a tree Saxon Street Pond marsh on the other side of the road: 5 Mallards and a male Hairy Woodpecker Silver Lake in Centreville: 25-30 Herring Gulls in the middle of the lake, surrounded by 4-500 Canada Geese on the outside, with 10 very pretty Bufflehead Ducks swimming and diving through their midst. Some of the males were still in summer plumage. Jean Timpa
