This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C77B6D.43057DFC Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Saturday (April 7) I flushed a pair of Harlequin Ducks on the Tusket River, near the headwaters. They were in a section of rapids just below a new woods road, a kilometre or two below Barrio Lake. Not the greatest of looks, as we were all startled by the experience, but the brighter, presumably male bird was standing on a boulder in mid stream when it flushed, while the female was in the rapids. Their distinctive squeaking call notes gave them away. A rather suggestive observation given the habitat and time of year. Nothing much else of bird interest. There were a pairs of Common Mergansers in a few of the lakes and deadwaters. Lots of White-winged and a few Red Crossbills singing in the spruce/hemlock stands.
