Although we enjoy the loons, mallards, cormorants and plovers during the spring, summer and fall, there are other birds who
make us a stop on their migration route, spending a day or two to rest and feed. Here are just a few of them.
Female buffleheads
Male bufflehead. I seldom get close enough to see the coloring, but the dramatic black and white is easy to identify at a distance. I look for them in late April and October.
Hooded Merganser These little ducks are just stunning! They migrate through in early spring and late fall and we sometimes get a good look at them
Common Goldeneye
Common Merganser female
Common Merganser male The head looks black in the\is picture, but they are actually a dark green
