Black Scoters were on all 3 water bodies I checked today - single females at Kilowatt South and on Pinneo, 22 on Runnemede. The only other notable birds were at Pinneo, which had 37 Common and 64 Hooded mergansers, a female scaup sp. (probably Lesser), the scoter, single Pied-billed and Red-necked grebes. Also in weedy vegatation at Pinneo's west end were 1 Am. Tree Sparrow, 1 Savannah Sparrow, 3 Song Sparrows, 3 Fox Sparrows, and 14 Dark-eyed Juncos. I was there between 3:30-4 pm, and the Ruddy Duck found 3 hours earlier by Sara Eisenhauer had left. Yesterday morning at Kilowatt South I had a Orange-crowned and 3 Yellow-rumped warblers.
