Went to the ponds on W.C.R. 59 and couldn't find the Eurasian Wigeon.
But the winds were super strong in the direction I was facing (that
didn't help at all) and shortly after I arrived nearly every single
duck took off at once for no apparent reason (didn't see any raptors
in sight)...most didn't return. I did get 3-4 male Cinnamon Teals
there (FOY for me).
After that I checked Loloff Reservoir. Got my FOY American White
Pelicans and a very likely Snow or Ross's Goose (couldn't get a good
angle to tell which one). It was almost in the very middle of a large
group of Canada Geese that were resting on the east side of the shore,
close to the road.
Made a brief drive by Lower Latham Reservoir but the weather was
turning fast so I didn't really stop to look at anything. It was nice
to see the wetlands pretty full of water though. Early last July it
was completely bone dry.
