Jeanette searching for ducks Here and there a Coot could be seen, not the thousands that could be seen of earlier when we were here. Next we spotted some Lesser Scaups, both male and female. Then some small groups of Common Goldeneye, and Ring-necked Ducks. A Costa's Humming bird buzzed Jeanette and we got fleeting glances of some kind of flycatcher. Clark's Grebes were in good numbers and very vocal, and we even got to see a pair doing their synchronized mating dance across the surface of the lake. Everybody seemed paired up, with only a few exceptions like a Common Merganser, a Pied-billed Grebe, a Double-crested Cormorant, and a Mallard.
