We stopped at the Wellington UpGround Reservoir this morning. There were no
geese on the reservoir, but we could hear a few calling -- must have left to
feed for the day.
We found Gadwall, American Wigeon, American Black Duck, Mallard, Canvasback,
Redhead, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye, Hooded Merganser,
Red-breasted Merganser, Ruddy Duck, and American Coot.
There was a lone Bonaparte's Gull along with one Herring Gull and numerous
Ring-billed Gulls.
There was quite a bit of open water on the reservoir and it will, no doubt,
expand with the warmer weather.
