[redcliffs] Waterfowl at the SR-9 (Hurricane) Sewer Ponds

[Rick Fridell]

Hello,

It's finally cooled down enough to get out a bit. So, I stopped by the SR-9
(Hurricane) treatment ponds on Saturday (7/12) and was surprised to see a
nice variety of waterfowl.  In addition to the typical Washington County
breeders (Mallards (40), Cinnamon Teal (4), and Ruddy Ducks (2)), there were
4 Gadwall, 4 Blue-winged Teal, 2 Northern Shoveler, 12 Redhead, and 4
Ring-necked Duck. Also at Sand Hollow SP, I saw a Common Merganser, a basic
plumaged Common Loon, and 3 Caspian Tern.
