Hi,

I stopped by at Bisset Lake yesterday afternoon. Nice day, lots of sun and 
no wind.

Ruddy Ducks and Coots are still plenty on the lake, and close-up to the 
parking area in the reeds.  I counted 20-24 Ruddy's and 16-18 Coots.
The lake also had 250-300 Canada geese on it, and several floats of 
scaups in the distance.  Common Mergansers and Ring-necked ducks were 
present in smaller numbers and a single pair of Pintails showed up as well.

I caught a short glimpse of a single duck disappearing into the reeds out of 
sight before I was able to get the scope on it to confirm its ID. Wasn't one of 
the above mentioned species and I had Redheaded Duck coming to my 
mind. Didn't get a chance for a second better look, but worth keeping an 
eye open if visiting Bisset Lake  

Cheers

Ulli
