The pair of Oldsquaw reported earlier by Bryan Arnold were still present yesterday afternoon. We saw them in the south-middle part of the lake, easily viewed by walking halfway across the berm on the C470 end of the res. We thought they were two females at first, as the male is quite a short-tailed Long-tailed duck; but he's got a good deal of pink on his bill. They dive consistently in unison, spend quite a while under, and remerge in nearly the same spot as they went down, making them easy to enjoy, while hardly moving your scope.
With most of the nearby lakes frozen, and SPR 100% open water, it's a good spot in general right now for waterfowl.
