[Birdtalk] Fw: eBird Report - Farmington Bay WMA , 12/2/08

[Doug Roberts]

Hi Birder Buddies,

I spent the afternoon at Farmington Bay. It was fun to discover BUFFLEHEADs again. They sure stand out in the sunshine, with the stark contrast of white on black.

I also discovered that European Widgeons look a lot like Redheads. I think what I saw was Redheads.

Quack quack,
Doug

Notes:     There were 10's of 1000's of birds on the water today. I only reported on birds close enough identify.

Also saw 6 Scaup, but were they Lesser or Greater?
