3:30-7:00 Ended my day with fishing and birding. Yellow throats in abundance, observed multible yellow warblers fighting their territorial battles. As I stood on the bend in the river a duck flew low past me, maybe a 4 second look. It had a lot of white and it was much too big for a buffle head so my first thought was a golden-eye. After discussing with Scott Shalaway I now know this to be a common merganzer which he has indicated nest on that part of fish creek. The large amount of white, some white on the head, the wing pattern deffinitely confirm the ID. I will return to confirm a next or clutch of young for breeding bird atlas.
Red Eye Verios, Green Herons, Carolina Wrens and many commoners ended the evening.
