Irondequoit Bay - 11/29/25

[ROBERT SPAHN]

    Sue and I did a quick loop across the top of Irondequoit Bay from Webster into Irondequoit, then S hitting some of the west side, with a quick run down Hoffman Road.

Hoffman Road quiet except quite a few Am. Robins and 1 Hermit Thrush toward the end. 

    Highlights on the Bay were a Great Egret along the cattails in the NW corner area plus a second on the docks of the old marina on the west side just N of where Orchard 

Park comes down to the Bay. Also in that area thousands of Red-breasted and Common Mergansers all over the water, over 100 Hooded Mergansers, 30+ Gadwall, scattered 

Bonaparte's Gulls, and 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull far down toward the SE corner. Lots of Mute Swans (did not check carefully for other species) and Mallards.

    Might be worth a check tomorrow with more time to count and scope.
