[Birdnet] Hooded Mergansers

[Carol Gwynn]

I got to enjoy 2 of the scoters on the causeway, the Black and the 
White Winged. (Thanks, Eric!) The long-tailed duck was also a good 
find. Should have stuck around another couple of hours for the Surf. 
There were numerous American Pipits calling by the bridge closest to 
the island.

At the Kaysville ponds, there were 4 Hooded Mergansers - 1 male and 3 
females. Other ducks included American Wigeon, Gadwall, Ring-necked 
Duck, Lesser Scaup, Northern Shoveler, and  Mallard (of course).

Glover Lane in Farmington had a smattering of ducks,  mostly Shovelers, 
coots, several Pied-billed Grebes, and a Belted Kingfisher. There was 
also a late Yellow-headed Blackbird in with a flock of hundreds of 
Red-winged Blackbirds, Brewer's Blackbirds, and Starlings (of course).

A Utah day with scoters, a Long-tailed Duck, and Hoodies is definitely 
a good day.
