[Birdtalk] Greater Scaup etc @ Farmington Bay

[Tim Avery]

After hitting the dump I ran over to Farmington Bay and ran into the
Summerfeld's as they were leaving.  They told me they had seen a Greater Scaup,
Great Egret and REd-breasted Merganser.  All three birds were pretty easy to
find.  The RBME was at the first bridge from the north in a small patch of open
water on the rest area.  The scaup and egret were at the 2nd bridge where the
boats launch in the canal.
