Yesterday I decided it was about time to check Forest Town Sewage Lagoons for the first time of the year. Went fairly well! Was able to rack up two new species, First species was actually the most present duck there, the American Wigeon. There had to be at least 110! Was scoping them all out searching for anything different like a Eurasian or something.. Didn't turn up any though. There were also a surprising number of both Ring-necked Duck and American Black Duck compared to Mallards too. Soon enough I found my 100th species!! Woohoo! 3 white morph Snow Geese swimming around in the lagoon! Through some more scanning I was able to pick out 13 Cackling Geese. One single group of 9, and two groups of 2.

After that, on to Wawanosh Wetlands for the first time this year as well. At Wawanosh I was able to pick out another 7 Cackling Geese, might have missed one because the Chris and Janette Davidson reported 8 that day there. Also there were two American Wigeon, two Gadwall flying around, two Hooded Mergansers, and 3 American Coots.

None of my picture today worked out very worth while, this probably only decent one of the day.
Over all a very good day!
Good Birding!
