[Birdnet] Hoodies Galore

[Carol Gwynn]

I visited the Kaysville Ponds today, hoping I would have the place to 
myself with no errant rock-throwing children or fisherpeople. Don't get 
me wrong - I love children, but after spending all day with them. . . 
Anyway, I was only partially successful.

There were at least 8, probably more, hooded mergansers on the main 
Kaysville pond. Also present were gadwall, wigeons, ring-necked ducks, 
lesser scaup, common goldeneye, mallards, green-winged teal, 
pied-billed grebe, kingfisher, and white-crowned sparrow.

The long-tailed ducks were on the causeway as previously reported. The 
winds were howling by the time I got there, and man, it was cold! I 
also observed a female black scoter at the bridge by the island, and I 
scared off about a half-dozen chukars that were hunkered down in the 
rocks. On accident, as the kids would say.
