This afternoon, I found the following on Bluestone Lake between the mouth of the Bluestone River and Bluestone Dam:
3 bald eagles
1 osprey
1 red-tailed hawk
50+ turkey vultures
30+ black vultures
6 double-crested cormorants
13 common loons
6 red-thr. loons
3 tundra swans
40 horned grebes
40 ring-billed gulls
3 common terns
This evening, in fading light we may have had 3 scoters but couldn't be sure. Also, a couple hundred red-winged blackbirds. I alerted some other birders, so there may be more to add to the list in the coming days.
