Prospect DEC 17th, "hoodies"
Along the north shore of Prospect Lake, the waters came alive with a wave of " hoodies" , namely HOODED MERGANSER. First reported by Rob Jett with a number of 16 birds, I visited an hour later and found a total of 21. A delightful sight to see.

. A surprise while searching for the Hoodies, a single BRANT gliding in the waters close to the west shore, maneuvering around the many NORTHERN SHOVELERS.
