Sawbill bonanza in CWP!


13 Feb - a late afternoon visit to CWP 29/30 area was well worth it as I found a female-type Red-breasted Merganser on pit 30, in the company of no less than 26 Goosander, mostly smart males. A redhead Smew on pit 29 later flew to pit 30, so all 3 Sawbills were on the pit together! The above Thorburn print shows these, with the addition of Hooded Merganser (a North American species).
