26 Nov 2013 - Dartmouth

While running errands I had the chance to quickly visit three winter
Dartmouth waterbird hotspots.

Bissett Lake, unlike my October visit, was very productive, despite being
partially frozen over.  Highlights:

7 Ruddy Ducks
5 American Coots
1 Redhead
6 Ring-necked Ducks.

Also lots of both scaup, Common Mergansers, Bufflehead, and Canada Geese.
No unusual dabbling ducks.

Red Bridge Pond was frozen over, which may explain why there were 100+
wigeon on Sullivan's Pond, including four Eurasian Wigeon -- two males (one
immature), and two females.  One other male wigeon seemed to have hybrid
tendencies.  There were also three immature Iceland Gulls.

The Winter Birding season starts on Sunday:
